“…It is also important to note that the improvement in asthma outcomes requires a broad, cross-sectoral and multi sectoral engagement (27). There are some examples which indicate that mobilizing diverse stakeholders and focusing on policy can generate significant reductions in health care use for vulnerable children with asthma (28). Interventions designed to improve health care services and coordination of care, school-based interventions, as well as the decrease of environmental risk factors exposure can greatly decrease asthma morbidity (29,30).…”

Objective: The aim of the study was to estimate changes in the prevalence of respiratory diseases and disorders between 2003/2004 and 2011/2012 in 13-16 years old children living in Bytom, one of the biggest cities in the Silesia agglomeration and provide the evidence for local policy makers. Methods: Data from two cross-sectional surveys, based on the Polish version of the International Study of Allergy and Asthma in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire, conducted in 2003/2004 and 2011/2012 was used. Response rate in the first and the second survey was 68% and 35%, respectively. The number of analyzed observations was 4,041 and 707 from the first and the second survey. The selection bias was controlled with the propensity score matching and potential determinants of analyzed respiratory diseases and disorders were controlled in the multivariable logistic regression model. Results: We found statistically significant increase in asthma ever diagnosed by medical doctor (4.5% vs. 9.6%; p < 0.01), seizures of dyspnea (8.2% vs. 27.7%; p < 0.01), and chest wheeze (9.6% vs. 19.2%; p < 0.01). Conclusion: Our study revealed significant increase in the prevalence of respiratory diseases and disorders after 8 years in adolescents living in the Upper Silesian Industrial Zone. This is a relevant finding which provides the evidence for decision makers in the scope of local public health policies.

“…This work can involve large multinational patient or medical organizations lobbying national governments for policies to increase access to care, support research, and improve financial safety nets for those who are most vulnerable to the financial impact of disease [111,112]. At a community level, coalitions of asthma healthcare providers and patients were able to improve outcomes through community wide interventions focused on changing hospital policies (telephone-based community wide coordination of social services for asthma patients), city ordinances (such as prohibiting idling of diesel trucks in residential neighborhoods), and providing targeted community education [113,114]. In sarcoidosis, this kind of multiinstitutional interprofessional collaboration will require leveraging of existing academic partnerships through professional organizations at the national and international level.…”

Purpose of review The impact of healthcare disparities in the treatment, care, and outcomes of patients with sarcoidosis has been described. There is paucity of literature on ways to address these disparities with a goal to improving health outcomes for patients with sarcoidosis. Recent findings Recent findings in other respiratory and systemic diseases suggest that multifaceted interventions directed at improving care at various levels including individual, family, and larger societal levels have been successful in dismantling some of the social and structural barriers to care and consequently have resulted in a reduction in disparate disease outcomes. We explore what some of these interventions would look like in sarcoidosis. Summary The impact of healthcare disparities in the treatment, care, and outcomes of patients with sarcoidosis has been described. We outline various steps and approaches aimed at addressing these health disparities with a goal to improving outcomes for those most impacted by disease.
