Burden of Emergency Department Visits and Their Outcomes Among Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis: Insights From the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample

Black patients and those in the lowest income quartile had lower odds of admission, highlighting potential disparities and the need for targeted interventions to improve health equity.
