    The study evaluated pediatric asthma referral plans generated by seven large language models (LLMs) using a factorial analysis.

  • 2

    Results indicated that the name 'DeShawn' was linked to a higher financial-access term rate in generated plans compared to 'Liam'.

  • 3

    The bundled geographic-access signal significantly increased the financial-access term rate in LLM-generated plans.

  • 4

    Variations in LLM outputs included differences in financial-access language, navigation support, and recognition of social determinants of health.

  • 5

    The findings highlight the need for evaluating structural and access-related framing alongside biomedical content in clinical LLM audits.
