Abstract
Both patient and healthcare professional-related factors contribute to referral delays in RA patients. Major factors causing referral delays include reluctance to refer and inadequate knowledge about rheumatology among primary care physicians and the general public. Patients' education and occupation also influence the timing of referrals to specialty care.
