Women often experience misdiagnosis and diagnostic delays due to process failures and implicit bias. This multicenter cohort study including 190 patients found that women were more likely to experience delays in diagnosis and misdiagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease, as compared to men. Researchers found that these inequities in misdiagnosis occurred across all healthcare settings (emergency department, primary care, gastroenterology, and hospital admission).
