An observational study in Skin Cancer, Mohs Micrographic Surgery and Interpolated Flap Repair, sponsored by University of Pennsylvania. Withdrawn at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 1 Year to 99 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-03-06.
Sponsored by University of Pennsylvania · Observational
Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) followed by skin reconstruction has been widely accepted for treatment of many skin cancers. To further characterize the trends in MMS and reconstruction for skin cancer, a retrospective analysis will be performed using the Optum© Clinformatics® DataMart de-identified commercial claims database from 2001-2016. The findings may provide critical data for future prospective studies in skin cancer treatments.

The study population was conveniently sampled from the compilation of de-identified claims in the Optum© Clinformatics® database using ICD9 and ICD10 codes specific for skin cancer and linking them to specific CPT codes for interpolated flap repair, a reconstructive skin surgery. The investigator's population is composed of >7,000 patients across the United States who received a skin cancer diagnosis and this procedure between 2001 and 2016.
Exclusion criteria:
Patients from the existing Optum insurance claimed database with a confirmed diagnosis of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma who have undergone skin cancer excision surgery followed by interpolated flap repair between the years 2001-2006.
