Abstrakt: The article "Social, disease and diagnostic factors associated with diagnostic delays in dermatomyositis: a retrospective cohort study" published in the British Journal of Dermatology discusses the challenges of diagnosing dermatomyositis (DM) promptly due to its varied clinical presentations and nonspecific laboratory findings. The study aimed to quantify diagnostic delays (DDs) and identify factors contributing to these delays. Conducted at an academic tertiary referral center, the retrospective cohort study analyzed adult patients with DM between 2009 and 2022, highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis in managing the condition and associated risks.
