Geographic and Sociodemographic Factors and Receipt of Metabolic Disease Specialty Care
In this cohort study of adults with type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, geographic and sociodemographic factors were associated with receipt of endocrinology and cardiology care. Widespread availability of telemedicine may enhance equitable access to endocrinology care for patients facing geographic barriers, but disparities in use of specialty care by age and race persisted in the posttelemedicine period.
