Trends over time and age for visit to a rheumatologist within one year of diagnosis (PM1). A Unadjusted trends over time, by regional rheumatologist supply (suboptimal supply: \(<\) 1 rheumatologist / 75,000 adults; high supply: ≥ 1 rheumatologist/75,000 adults). B Adjusted trends over time, by regional rheumatologist supply. C Adjusted access to a rheumatologist, by age.
