ABSTRACT
Background
Skin tone can affect clinical signs and device accuracy in paediatric anaemia and deterioration detection, creating risks of inequity.
Key Issues
Studies show disparities in diagnostic accuracy across different skin tones, supported by community-based evidence.
Recommendations
(1) Build multicenter networks with standardised skin-tone data. (2) Validate devices across varied skin tones. (3) Train clinicians in dark-skin sign recognition. (4) Include equity metrics in paediatric quality indicators.
Conclusion
Reducing skin-tone bias is essential for equitable paediatric care. Collaborative research across diverse regions is needed.
