TLDR Most dermatology drugs in Denmark are used correctly, with few unusual patterns.
In Denmark, the study on dermatology drug utilization using the waiting time distribution (WTD) method found that most drugs are used as expected, with only a few unexpected use patterns. These findings indicate that the WTD method is effective for screening aberrant drug use, although further targeted follow-up is needed to draw conclusions about inappropriate use.
