Antibiotic Adherence Practices in Dermatologic Surgery

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This multi-center prospective observational cohort study will examine the prevalence of non-adherence along with analyze the risk factors of non-adherence for patients presenting to dermatologic surgery. Patients prescribed antibiotics will be invited to participate in the study and appropriate follow up to inquire about antibiotic usage will be conducted. All data will be collected and stored in a secured REDCap database managed by the Penn Dermatologic Surgery Clinical Research Team.

Clinical Trial Description

This multi-center prospective observational cohort study will examine the prevalence of non-adherence and analyze the risk factors of non-adherence for patients presenting to dermatologic surgery. Patients prescribed antibiotics will be invited to participate in the study and appropriate follow up to inquire about antibiotic usage will be conducted. Inclusion criteria are 1) Patients with age greater than or equal to 18 who are capable of providing informed consent and 2) Patients who have been prescribed antibiotics following their visit with a dermatologic surgery department. We plan to examine patients who have presented to a dermatologic surgery clinic and were prescribed antibiotics from June 1, 2019 to June 1, 2021 at the University of Pennsylvania Health System and other Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved sites. After obtaining informed consent at their visit to enroll in the study, variables of interest will be collected from patients including name, date of birth (DOB), gender, visit date, contact information, antibiotic regimen, and 4 question survey assessing adherence. Follow up via patient's preferred method of contact will be conducted after the patient's intended antibiotic completion date and covariates for antibiotic regimens will be recorded including antibiotic type, number of doses, antibiotic duration, reason for non-adherence, pills remaining, and number of other medications. All data will be collected and stored in a secured REDCap database managed by the Penn Dermatologic Surgery Clinical Research Team. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
