Table 3 Comparison between Black and White patients. Percentages in the entire dataset are calculated as a fraction of the total number of patients (N = 164,041). The population in the high SBP cohort consists of Black or White patients with SBP records exceeding 160 mmHg and the percentages are computed as fractions of M = 59,306, which is the size of the high SBP cohort. The population below the median household income level consists of Black or White patients who have household income below the overall annual median level in the entire dataset ($53,798); the corresponding percentages are computed as fractions of Black (respectively, White) patients in the entire dataset. The population with SDoH consists of patients who answered ‘Yes’ in any of the 8 domains of the Thrive survey, and percentages are calculated as fractions of Black (respectively, White) patients in the entire dataset
