Association of race/ethnicity and gender with differences in healthcare use and treatment for acne

JAMA Feb 12, 2020

Barbieri JS, et al. - Researchers sought to distinguish potential disparities in acne care by evaluating factors associated with healthcare use and specific treatments for acne. Between January 1, 2007, and June 30, 2017, this retrospective cohort study applied the Optum de-identified electronic health record data set to identify patients treated for acne. They applied multivariable regression to quantify relationships between basic patient demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and the outcomes of healthcare use and treatment for acne during 1 year of follow-up. The study recruited a sum of 29,928 individuals (median [interquartile range] age, 20.2 [15.4-34.9] years; 19,127 [63.9%] female; 20 310 [67.9%] white). The data indicated that there may be racial/ethnic, gender, and insurance-based disparities in healthcare use and treatment for acne. Future research is required to validate and understand the reasons for these differences.
