Incidence of skin and soft tissue infections in general practice and out-of-hours services in Norway 2006–2022

Key Points

To analyze trends in the incidence of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) in general practice and out-of-hours services in Norway from 2006 to 2022.
Retrospective analysis of SSTI incidence data
Inclusion of elderly population
Focus on multimorbidity rates
Overall decline in SSTIs incidence in general practice and out-of-hours services
Increasing incidence among the elderly
Growing challenges anticipated for populations with multimorbidity
