Background: Sarcoidosis is a complex granulomatous disease that benefits from multidisciplinary subspecialty expertise. Inequitable access to care contributes to racial disparities in many diseases; however, to our knowledge, no studies have examined racial differences in referral times to Sarcoidosis Centers of Excellence.
Research Question: Is there an association between race and time from sarcoidosis diagnosis to referral to an independently certified, peer-reviewed World Association of Sarcoidosis and Other Granulomatous Disorders Center of Excellence? Does a referral result in a change in sarcoidosis management?
Study Design And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all 2021 referrals to the Johns Hopkins Sarcoidosis Center of Excellence.
