Reply to comment by biebiedoep in Indigenous people are less likely to survive the year after an ICU admission. 12 months after being admitted to intensive care, an Indigenous person is more likely to have died than a non-Indigenous person, according to Australian research. by MistWeaver80

It’s not pointless. Both of these things seem to point to them being less likely to obtain medical help sooner rather than later. It can help to direct the government to find out why they aren’t seeking the care they need so they can help get them it.

I'm sure a lower rate of seeking help is a factor but surely poorer health across the board also effect this poorer progrnosis? That's something you'd expect to show up in people of lower socio-economic background regardless of race.
