Twelve-Month Health Care Utilization in Individuals Starting on Biologics for Chronic Immune-Mediated Diseases

Individuals with suboptimally controlled chronic immune-mediated diseases (IMDs) have high rates of healthcare utilization. We hypothesized that higher disease activity scores would correlate with a higher rate of non-scheduled healthcare visits among a single center cohort of patients with chronic IMDs mostly starting new biologics (Biologics and Clinical Immunology Cohort at Sinai (BACICS) ). We also sought to determine the proportion of visits related to the primary IMD.
