Lack of sex bias in the referral letters for patients with inflammatory bowel disease: a mixed methods evaluation
This mixed methods analysis identified no difference in referral letter language, contents, or quality for female and male patients with IBD. Masked letters were triaged similarly to unmasked letters, suggesting an absence of sex and/or gender bias in the gastroenterology triaging process in our setting.
