Abstract
: Our findings reveal significant disparities in the use of invasive life-saving ICU treatments among septic patients from racial and ethnic minority backgrounds, particularly with respect to IMV and VP use. These disparities underscore not only the need to address inequality in critical care settings, but also highlight the importance of high-resolution data.
