The 2023 Annual Report of DataDerm™: the Database of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD)

The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) launched DataDerm™ in 2016 as the clinical data registry platform of AAD. DataDerm has evolved to be the largest database in the world containing information about dermatology patients, capturing information about their course of disease, associated therapeutic interventions, and health outcomes. As of December 31, 2022, DataDerm contained data from 14.2 million unique patients and 53.5 million unique patient visits, with 415 practices representing 1,663 clinicians actively participating in DataDerm in 2022.This article is the fourth in a series of Annual Reports about the status of DataDerm. This year’s 2023 annual report presents the progress DataDerm has made in conjunction with OM1, the data analytics partner of DataDerm, with a special highlight on the longitudinal care of common dermatologic conditions in the registry and a detailed focus on skin cancer. Furthermore, we review the current status of DataDerm as a robust representation of real world specialty data, reflecting the day-to-day dermatologic care of patients over time.
