The nearly 100 languages collected in the patient-level data were combined into eight geographical or cultural groups: English Language, Spanish Language, Asian/Pacific Islander Languages, Middle Eastern Languages, European Languages, African Languages, Latin American Languages, Native American Languages, and Sign Language.
