Replying to @blisstilly Last week, I posted a video about the Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC) calculator. This calculator estimates the mathematical chance of a pregnant person receiving a C-section, and used to include race as one of the metrics. I wanted to break down how an individuals race or ethnicity impacted that calculation. Thankfully, as of 2021 the equation has been updated to no longer include race. But understanding how differences like this become literally encoded into medicine is important. #vbac #maternalhealth #pregnancy #obgyn #doctor #nurse #racialbiasinmedicine
