 //​**Rationale:​** // //​**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//​.//​ 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//​.//​
