Abstract

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic caused dermatology providers to use telemedicine to safely arrange clinic appointments during lockdowns. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of telehealth on antibiotic prescription length. Specifically, we sought to compare antibiotic length prescription for virtual vs. in-person visits before, during, and after COVID-19 shutdowns. A retrospective cohort study was performed using all documented pharmaceutical prescriptions of tetracycline in 2019-2021 prescribed by dermatology providers at a large academic tertiary referral center.
