Abstract:
Dermatologic disease in patients without housing (NWH) has not been well characterized. We present a retrospective cohort study delineating dermatologic disease in NWH patients and patients with housing (WH) during presentation to the emergency department. A total of 842 medical records were reviewed, with evenly matched NWH and WH patients based on sex, self-identified race and ethnicity, and age. To improve outcomes in this vulnerable population, our study sought to elucidate more information on the morphology of cutaneous disease and highlight disparities in clinical workup.
