The objective of this study was to get an informative basis of health care of patients with acne vulgaris in Germany, taking into account both doctor\u2010prescribed medication and self\u2010medication.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Patients and Methods:<\/jats:italic> Surveying both medically and self\u2010treated patients, n = 504 patients with acne vulgaris were interviewed in 48 pharmacies nationwide. In addition to socio\u2010demographic data, the duration of illness, localization and therapy as well as patient\u2010relevant outcomes such as patient benefit, psychological strain and markers of compliance were evaluated. The participation and significance of individual treatment providers were also evaluated.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic> A large percentage of the patients found acne vulgaris to be burdensome. Despite the longstanding necessity of treatment and the chronic course of the illness, the treatment of acne vulgaris was deemed a rather satisfactory experience by most of those affected. Dermatologists were most frequently consulted for treatment. A great number of medicinal products were further acquired through self\u2010medication or after consulting with a pharmacist. The medically regulated therapies predominantly complied with the latest guidelines.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Conclusions:<\/jats:italic> Acne vulgaris is a burdensome, socio\u2010economically relevant illness, and dermatologists treat most cases in Germany. Surveying across a network of pharmacies offers a unique access to relevant treatment data. Selection effects, particularly by choice of doctors and self\u2010medication, were minimized.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1610-0387.2009.07155.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,1]],"date-time":"2009-07-01T10:40:08Z","timestamp":1246444808000},"page":"1060-1063","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Quality of medical care of patients with acne vulgaris in Germany \u2013 nationwide survey of pharmacy clients"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Nadine","family":"Franzke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lisa","family":"Zimmer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ines","family":"Sch\u00e4fer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Radermacher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joachim","family":"Kresken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthias","family":"Augustin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","volume-title":"Zentralinstitut der kassen\u00e4rztlichen Bundesvereinigung (ZI)","year":"2006"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.2004.06078.x"},{"issue":"7","key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Psychosocial impact of acne vulgaris: evaluating the evidence","volume":"9","author":"Tan JK","year":"2004","journal-title":"Skin Therapy Lett"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00435978"},{"issue":"45","key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","first-page":"35","article-title":"Standard patient assessed quality of life instruments can be used to mesure the benefits of acne treatment","volume":"133","author":"Mallon E","year":"1995","journal-title":"Br J Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00019053-199406020-00003"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2133.1999.02768.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.134.4.454"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_2","article-title":"Pharmako\u00f6konomie der Akne \u2013 Bewertung von Nutzen und Wirtschaftlichkeit","author":"Radtke MA","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Dtsch Dermatol Ges"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_7_11_2","first-page":"251","article-title":"Predictors of healthcare outcomes and costs related to medication use in patients with Akne in the United States","volume":"77","author":"Balkrishnan R","year":"2006","journal-title":"Cutis."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2005.03.029"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000136656"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_2","first-page":"62","volume-title":"Dermatologische Qualit\u00e4tssicherung. 4.
