OBJECTIVES: SSTIs are an emerging cause of outpatient visits and hospitalizations, due to the dramatic rising of antimicrobial resistance and severity of the infection. This study aimed to analyze the healthcare profile of patients with SSTIs in the real clinical practice and to determine the total cost of the disease. METHODS: Starting from ARNO Observatory database (13 million citizens), a cohort of patients with SSTIs, with available, complete and good quality data on pharmaceutical prescriptions, diagnostic procedures and hospital discharges, was selected. The accrual period lasted from the January 1^st to December 31^st
