Referral Patterns and Diagnostic Concordance in Pediatric Skin Disorders
Importance
This study explores referral patterns in pediatric dermatology and assesses the diagnostic concordance between referring and dermatology providers.
Method
This retrospective cross-sectional study utilized referrals to an outpatient pediatric dermatology clinic. The review included patients referred between July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019. Only patients who completed a clinic visit were included in the diagnostic concordance. Referral and first visit diagnoses were compared to determine concordance.
Results
A total of 8,682 charts were reviewed, and 3,738 completed a clinic visit. The most common referral diagnoses included atopic dermatitis, rash, lesion, melanocytic nevus, and warts. Physicians (78.5%) and APRNs (18.1%) most frequently referred patients. The diagnostic concordance of physicians was 67.1% vs 66.3% for APRNs.
Conclusion
Physicians and APRNs showed similar rates of diagnostic concordance, yet a large proportion of diagnoses were discordant. Primary care providers may benefit from focused education around the most commonly referred and missed diagnoses.
