There is paucity of research available regarding the epidemiological characteristics of patients attending dermatology outpatient services in rural Australia. We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients attending a public dermatology clinic established at Dubbo Base Hospital in rural New South Wales. The broad range of dermatological presentations encountered, coupled with the brisk uptake of services by remote patients, highlights the ongoing need for specialist dermatology services in underserved rural communities.
关于澳大利亚农村地区皮肤科门诊患者的流行病学特征，现有研究较少。我们对新南威尔士州农村地区达博基地医院设立的一家公立皮肤科诊所的患者进行了一项回顾性队列研究。所遇到的广泛的皮肤科病症，再加上偏远地区患者对服务的踊跃接受，凸显了在服务不足的农村社区持续提供专科皮肤科服务的必要性。
