BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests that inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are underdiagnosed among underserved populations. However, there remains a lack of national studies evaluating diagnostic disparities in IEI. OBJECTIVE: We examined disparities in the timely IEI diagnosis and related health outcomes. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed of a US national claims database (years 2007 to 2021). Participants included patients diagnosed with an "unspecified immune deficiency" (uID) and presented with IEI-related symptoms, who later received an IEI diagnosis (n = 1429). We quantified the diagnostic interval from clinical suspicion (uID) to IEI diagnosis and examined its association with sociodemographic factors and related health outcomes. RESULTS: The median (interquartile range) diagnostic interval was 369 (126-808) days. Diagnostic interval was 14% longer among patients residing in predominantly non-White neighborhoods, compared with those in predominantly White neighborhoods ( CONCLUSION: We observed significant racial and socioeconomic disparities in the timeliness of IEI diagnosis and IEI-related outcomes. Further studies are needed to address the underlying factors contributing to diagnostic inequity.
