Abstract
The expertise of both dermatology and rheumatology may be beneficial when managing autoimmune conditions with cutaneous and systemic manifestations in children. This survey study was directed to pediatric dermatologists who participate in combined pediatric dermatology–rheumatology clinics; 13 sites in North America responded. The results provide information regarding clinic operations, benefits, and barriers to establishment. These findings have the potential to help institutions establish or modify combined pediatric dermatology–rheumatology clinics, although further research is needed to determine their impact.
