    The study emphasizes the importance of patient preferences in the design of clinical algorithms.

  • 2

    Concerns exist regarding the incorporation of race into clinical algorithms, including methodological issues.

  • 3

    Race-neutral approaches are preferred when their performance is similar to race-aware algorithms.

  • 4

    Comparative assessments of race-aware versus race-neutral algorithms are necessary before removing race.

  • 5

    Addressing structural disparities is essential, as race often serves as a proxy for unmeasured factors.
