| - | **Objective:** // | + | **Objective:** |
| - | We aim to characterize 1) the use of oral antibiotics for the treatment of acne in children and adolescents and 2)assess guideline compliance of current clinical practice around the world.// | + | Aim 1: Characterize the international distribution of oral antibiotic use for acne in the pediatric and young adult population ages 12 to 21. |
| + | Aim 2: Characterize the international distribution of oral antibiotic use for acne in the adult population ages 22 to 60. | ||
| - | **Rationale:** //Acne is a common and disabling medical problem, especially among adolescents.[1] Guidelines established by the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommend to minimize the duration of systemic antibiotics for the management of acne ideally to 3-4 months and no longer than 6 months in order to decrease risk of resistance.[1] A recent systematic review demonstrated that over 50% of P acnes strains are reported as resistant in all major regions of the world.[2] In addition to promoting resistance, long-term oral antibiotic use has been associated with a number of adverse events including microbiome disruption and pharyngitis, and possible associations with inflammatory bowel disease and obesity.[3] Despite these adverse effects, oral antibiotics are often prescribed for acne for longer durations than acne guidelines recommend.[3] A large retrospective cohort study of teenagers in the UK revealed that 29% of antibiotic courses prescribed by general practitioners exceeded 6 months in duration.[3] OHDSI network evidence will identify areas of the globe most in need of improving guideline concordance.// | + | //**Rationale:** // |
| + | Acne is a common and disabling medical condition, particularly amongst adolescents and young adults.[1] According to the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016, acne is the most disabling skin condition worldwide, responsible for 0.28% of global burden from all diseases.[2] In addition to physical disfigurement, the profound psychosocial effects of acne have been recognized for over half a century.[3] Guidelines established by the American Academy of Dermatology recommend minimizing the duration of systemic antibiotics for the management of acne ideally to 3-4 months and no longer than 6 months in order to decrease risk of resistance.[1] A recent systematic review demonstrated that over 50% of P. acnes strains are reported as resistant in all major regions of the world.[4] In addition to promoting resistance, long-term oral antibiotic use has been associated with a number of adverse events including microbiome disruption and pharyngitis, as well as possible associations with inflammatory bowel disease and obesity.[5] Despite these adverse effects, oral antibiotics are often prescribed for acne for longer durations than acne guidelines recommend.[5] A large retrospective cohort study of teenagers in the UK revealed that 29% of antibiotic courses prescribed by general practitioners exceeded 6 months in duration.[5] A similar retrospective cohort study of teenagers and young adults in the US found that 18% of antibiotic courses exceeded 6 months.[6] Our study will investigate oral antibiotic use for acne over the last ten years across the globe in both pediatric/young adult and adult populations. OHDSI network evidence will identify areas of the globe most in need of improving guideline concordance//.// | ||
