Observation of racial differences in the use of physical restraint: Response to Taylor et al. commentary 'Premature conclusions'

The authors appreciate the comments of Dr. Corbin and his colleagues, as well as those of our colleagues suggesting our findings are "premature conclusions." A primary concern of our colleagues pertains to the limited number of confounders adjusted in our analyses. Indeed, while we were able to adjust for two of the variables noted (substance use and mental health diagnoses), we did not have the data available in this study to analyze potential effects of infection, neurovascular or metabolic complications, or trauma.
