Summary
This study found that acne consultations are infrequent among early-career general practitioners, with lower presentation rates observed in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and those in rural areas.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- General Practice
- Public Health
Background:
- Acne is a prevalent chronic skin condition.
- Understanding acne consultation patterns is crucial for healthcare planning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the frequency of acne consultations by general practice registrars.
- To identify associations related to these consultations.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional analysis of the Registrar Clinical Encounters in Training study data.
- Involved 2234 registrars and 289,594 consultations from 2010-2018.
Main Results:
- Acne represented 0.38% of all problems/diagnoses.
- Patients new to the practice or new to the registrar had higher odds of acne consultation.
- Lower frequencies of acne presentations were noted for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and those in rural/remote areas.
Conclusions:
- Most acne patients had a pre-existing diagnosis.
- Further research is needed to understand the lower acne presentation rates in specific populations and geographic areas.

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

01:21Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands
3.7K
A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
