TLDR Dermatology drug use in Denmark mostly follows expected patterns, but further checks are needed for any misuse.
In Denmark, the use of dermatology drugs generally aligns with expected patterns, showing minimal unexpected usage. However, specific follow-up is necessary to conclusively identify any inappropriate use. The study highlights the broad applicability of using epidemiologic estimates and measures of inequality to screen for aberrant drug utilization.
