Race in dermatology clinical guidelines: A systematic review of impacts on health equity

Year: 2025

Type: review

Abstract: Introduction: Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) synthesize evidence to guide dermatologic care and improve outcomes. However, the use of race in CPGs has the potential to perpetuate or mitigate health inequities. Race is a sociopolitical construct rather than a biological determinant of health, and its misuse in clinical recommendations may reinforce structural inequities. This study systematically reviews the use of race in dermatology CPGs to assess its impact on health care equity and identify opportunities for improvement.
