Abstract	:	Objective: To assess the cost-effectiveness from thepayer perspective of using dermatologists versuspediatricians to treat acne in adolescents ages 10-18. Methods: A Markov model was constructed toexplore outcomes over a 2-year period from the USprivate payer perspective. Patients ages 10-18 withacne entered the model under the “dermatologist”and “pediatrician” conditions. In each 3-month cycle,each modeled patient received topical retinoids,benzoyl peroxide (BP), antibiotics, or no treatment,and could progress to an acne-free state or remainin an acne state. Results: The average patient spent42.3% of the time in acne-free states under thedermatologist condition and 28.0% of the time inacne-free states under the pediatrician condition.The cohort of 1000 patients experienced 1900 totalquality-adjusted life years (QALYs) at a cost of
