"Across all examined outcomes, except for uterine cancer, Black adults had elevated incident diagnoses or hospitalizations compared with White adults. Notably, Black males demonstrated a risk of incident prostate cancer and hospitalizations from HIV and diabetes twice as high relative to White males. For Black females, the risk of incident HIV hospitalization was 12 times as high. However, Black females were 15% less likely to be diagnosed with uterine cancer, compared with White females. Cumulative mortality risk analysis showed significantly lower survivability (two times lower) among Black females diagnosed with uterine cancer, relative to White females. Delayed diagnosis mediated a marginally higher proportion of the total differential uterine cancer mortality among Black females (14.9%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 10.5% to 23.1%), compared with White females (8.9%; 95% CI: 6.3% to 13.9%)"--Abstract, page 3.
