The Reporting of Race and Ethnicity in Surgical Literature

The reporting of race provides transparency to the representativeness of data and helps inform healthcare disparities. The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) developed recommendations to promote quality reporting of race, however, the frequency of reporting continues to be low among most medical journals. The goal of our study is to assess the frequency as well as the quality of race reporting among publications from high impact surgical journals.
