We were honored to have Dr. Aaron Baugh present his pivotal work looking at how social disparities inform differences in lung function and outcomes. His recent paper showed that race-specific equations may underestimate COPD severity in African American…

@dch1309 Agree and big props to my former cofellow, current UCSF Asst Prof, and perpetually excellent human Aaron Baugh for publishing a great, evidence-based paper on this: https://t.co/3Tn5Q3zCTm
