Abstract

Identifying safe, effective, and affordable evidence-based dermatologic treatments for older adults can be challenging because of age-related changes. Few studies have examined the effectiveness of phototherapy in older adults. Our retrospective study of patients 65 years and older who were treated with narrowband UVB(NB-UVB) phototherapy aimed to (1) identify the most common dermatologic conditions treated with phototherapy in older adults, (2) examine the effectiveness and safety of phototherapy in older adults, and (3) compare the outcomes to 2 similar studies in the United Kingdom and Turkey.
