Based on surveys by Robinson1 in 2001 and Trimble and Cherpeli2 in 2013, Immunohistochemistry (IHC) utilization in Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) has been rising. Although these surveys provided important subjective data regarding IHC use in MMS, there is a paucity of objective data describing its current utilization patterns. The objective of this study is to characterize IHC utilization during MMS by Mohs surgeons in the treatment of Medicare beneficiaries from 2012-2017.
基于 Robinson1 在 2001 年和 Trimble 和 Cherpeli2 在 2013 年的调查,免疫组织化学(IHC)在 Mohs 显微外科手术(MMS)中的应用一直在增加。尽管这些调查提供了关于 MMS 中 IHC 使用的重要主观数据,但缺乏描述其当前利用模式的客观数据。本研究的目的是描述 2012-2017 年间 Mohs 外科医生在治疗 Medicare 受益人的 MMS 中使用 IHC 的情况。
