Objective To examine the effect of biological sex on wait times to first rheumatology appointment in a central triage system before and during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods Deidentified data of all referred patients between November 2019 and June 2022 were extracted from the electronic medical record. Variables, including time from referral to first appointment, biological sex, referral period, urgency status, age, and geographic location were collected and analyzed. Results Twelve thousand eight hundred seventeen referrals were identified. Wait times increased by 24.23 days in the peri-COVID period ( P < 0.001). In the pre-COVID period, there was no significant difference in wait times by biological sex or age. Triage urgency was a predictor of wait time, with semiurgent referrals seen 8.94 days (95% CI −15.90 to −1.99) sooner than routine referrals and urgent referrals seen 25.42 days (95% CI −50.36 to −0.47) sooner than routine referrals. In the peri-COVI
