Abstract
Otherwise known as Verneuil's disease, hidradenitis suppurative (HS) is a severe dermatosis of heterogeneous appearance affecting 1% of the population. Its pathophysiology is multifactorial, involving genetic predisposition, inflammatory disorder and environmental elements. Its diagnosis is based on the association of three clinical characteristics: characteristic lesions, typical localizations, and the chronic and recurrent nature of the lesions. Given its diversified aspects, diagnosis can be difficult to achieve. As its manifestations often include abscesses, it is important for the surgeon to know how to detect this pathology. The development of biologics has improved treatment of this disease, treatment that necessitates a multidisciplinary medical and surgical approach involving dermatologists and proctologists as well as surgeons. The objective of this report is to synthesize what a surgeon will need to know so as effectively treat HS patients.

[PMID: 37632892 PMCID: PMC10334943 DOI: 10.2196/38783] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a potentially debilitating, chronic, recurring inflammatory disease. Observational databases provide opportunities to study the epidemiology of HS. OBJECTIVE This study's objective was to develop phenotype algorithms for HS suitable for epidemiological studies based on a network of observational databases. METHODS A data-driven approach was used to develop 4 HS algorithms. A literature search identified prior HS algorithms. Standardized databases from the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (n=9) were used to develop 2 incident and 2 prevalent HS phenotype algorithms. Two open-source diagnostic tools, CohortDiagnostics and PheValuator, were used to evaluate and generate phenotype performance metric estimates, including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value. RESULTS We developed 2 prevalent and 2 incident HS algorithms. Validation showed that PPV estimates were highest (mean 86%) for the prevalent HS algorithm requiring at least two HS diagnosis codes. Sensitivity estimates were highest (mean 58%) for the prevalent HS algorithm requiring at least one HS code. CONCLUSIONS This study illustrates the evaluation process and provides performance metrics for 2 incident and 2 prevalent HS algorithms across 9 observational databases. The use of a rigorous data-driven approach applied to a large number of databases provides confidence that the HS algorithms can correctly identify HS subjects.

Abstract
Acne affects more than 640 million people worldwide, including about 85% of adolescents. This inflammatory dermatosis affects the entire population, from teenagers to adults, which reinforces the need to investigate it. Furthermore, in adults, acne has serious consequences, including a psychological impact, low self-esteem, social isolation, and depression. Over the last years, the understanding of acne pathophysiology has improved, mainly thanks to the identification of the pivotal role of the microbiota. The aim of this review was to screen the most recent scientific literature on adult acne and the newly tested treatments. Clinically, therapeutic innovations for the treatment of acne have been recently developed, including pre/probiotics, new molecules, and innovative formulations associated, however, with fewer side effects. Moreover, clinical trials are underway to use off-label molecules that seem to be proving their value in the fight against adult acne.

Comorbidity screening in hidradenitis suppurativa: Evidence-based recommendations from the US and Canadian Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundations. J Am Acad Dermatol 2021; 86:1092-1101. [PMID: 33493574 PMCID: PMC8298595 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaad.2021.01.059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 67] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2020] [Revised: 01/07/2021] [Accepted: 01/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is associated with comorbidities that contribute to poor health, impaired life quality, and mortality risk. Objective: To provide evidence-based screening recommendations for comorbidities linked to HS. Methods: Systematic reviews were performed to summarize evidence on the prevalence and incidence of 30 comorbidities in patients with HS relative to the general population. The screening recommendation for each comorbidity was informed by the consistency and quality of existing studies, disease prevalence, and magnitude of association, as well as benefits, harms, and feasibility of screening. The level of evidence and strength of corresponding screening recommendation were graded by using the Strength of Recommendation Taxonomy (SORT) criteria. Results: Screening is recommended for the following comorbidities: acne, dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, pilonidal disease, pyoderma gangrenosum, depression, generalized anxiety disorder, suicide, smoking, substance use disorder, polycystic ovary syndrome, obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory bowel disease, spondyloarthritis, and sexual dysfunction. It is also recommended to screen patients with Down syndrome for HS. The decision to screen for specific comorbidities may vary with patient risk factors. The role of the dermatologist in screening varies according to comorbidity. Limitations: Screening recommendations represent one component of a comprehensive care strategy. Conclusions: Dermatologists should support screening efforts to identify comorbid conditions in HS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A clinical decision support tool may improve recognition of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and reduce diagnosis delay. OBJECTIVE To develop and initially validate a clinical decision support to predict diagnosis of HS and distinguish it from cutaneous abscess of the axilla, groin, perineum, and buttock. METHODS This was a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis between January 2012 and June 2017 (development set) and July 2017 and March 2019 (validation set). We used an electronic records sample of 56 million patients from the Explorys database to identify patients with an ambulatory visit associated with either HS or cutaneous of the axilla, groin, perineum, and buttock. The outcome was predicted probability of HS diagnosis. RESULTS Development set included 7,974 patients with mean age of 41.4 years, who were predominantly female (66%) and white (62%). Validation set included 1,560 patients with similar demographic composition. Factors which were stronger independent predictors of HS included female sex (OR 2.17 [95% CI 1.96-2.40]); African American race (1.28 [95% CI 1.15-1.44]); increasing BMI (OR 1.05 [95% CI 1.05-1.06)]; history of acne (OR 3.46 [95% CI 2.83-4.23]); Down syndrome (OR 5.35 [95% CI 2.03-14.12]); and prescription for at least 7 opioid medications in the past year (OR 1.05 [95% CI 0.83-1.33]). Up to age 45 years, increasing age was a stronger predictor of HS diagnosis. The simplified model showed good discrimination (c-statistic 0.746 [SE 0.013]) and moderate calibration (calibration intercept -0.260 [SE 0.055]; calibration slope 1.142 [SE 0.076]). CONCLUSION This clinical decision support tool shows good performance in predicting diagnosis of HS and distinguishing it from cutaneous abscess that involves the axilla, groin, perineum, and buttock.

Abstract
The association between acne keloidalis nuchae (AKN) and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is yet to be investigated. To determine the link between AKN and HS using a large computerized health maintenance database. A cross-sectional study design was used to assess the prevalence of HS in patients with AKN and in control participants matched by age, sex, and ethnicity. A total of 2677 participants with AKN and 13,190 control participants were studied. An increased prevalence of HS was observed in the AKN group compared to the control group (1.0% vs. 0.3%, respectively; OR, 3.6; 95% CI 2.2-5.8; P < 0.001), especially among those younger than 20 years (OR, 10.2; 95% CI 3.1-34.2; P < 0.001), and females (OR, 15.7; 95% CI 3.1-78.8; P < 0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, the multivariate analysis demonstrated a persistent association of AKN with HS (adjusted OR, 3.6; 95% CI 2.1-5.9; P < 0.001). This study demonstrated a significant association between AKN and HS in an Israeli population. The threshold for diagnosis of HS among patients with AKN must be lowered in patients presenting with concerning symptoms. Further observational studies in other patient populations will help confirm this relationship.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder which involves painful nodules and draining abscesses in flexural areas. Acne vulgaris and its more severe variants including acne conglobata and acne fulminans are also disorders involving the follicular unit. Given that follicular obstruction, dilatation and inflammation feature in both HS and acne vulgaris/conglobata, it has been suggested that HS is associated with acne vulgaris/conglobata.
Methods
The present systematic review and meta-analysis was performed according to recommended PRISMA guidelines. All eligible case-control studies comparing patients with HS vs non-HS were included in the present review. All studies must have included either the proportion of patients with acne vulgaris/conglobata in each group, or the summary effect size for association between HS and acne vulgaris/conglobata. The odds ratio (OR) was used as a summary statistic.
Results
From pooled unadjusted meta-analysis, we found a significantly higher proportion of patients with acne vulgaris/conglobata in HS cases compared to controls (OR 3.44, 95% CI 1.95–6.07, P < 0.0001, I2 = 100%). Pooled meta-analysis was also performed with adjusted effect sizes. This demonstrated that HS was significantly associated with acne vulgaris/conglobata after adjustment for potential confounders (OR 3.44, 95% CI 2.43–4.87, P < 0.00001, I2 = 99%).
Conclusions
In summary, a significant association was found between HS and acne vulgaris/conglobata. This has implications in terms of understanding the burden of disease on patient quality of life as well as consideration of optimal management strategies to target both disorders. Physicians taking care of patients with HS should be aware of this association.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A needs assessment for patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) will support advancements in multidisciplinary care, treatment, research, advocacy, and philanthropy. OBJECTIVE To evaluate unmet needs from the perspective of HS patients. METHODS Prospective multinational survey of patients between October 2017 and July 2018. RESULTS Before receiving a formal HS diagnosis, 63.7% (n = 827) of patients visited a physician ≥5 times. Mean delay in diagnosis was 10.2 ± 8.9 years. Patients experienced flare daily, weekly, or monthly in 23.0%, 29.8%, and 31.1%, respectively. Most (61.4% [n = 798]) rated recent HS-related pain as moderate or higher, and 4.5% described recent pain to be the worst possible. Access to dermatology was rated as difficult by 37.0% (n = 481). Patients reported visiting the emergency department and hospital ≥5 times for symptoms in 18.3% and 12.5%, respectively. An extreme impact on life was reported by 43.3% (n = 563), and 14.5% were disabled due to disease. Patients reported a high frequency of comorbidities, most commonly mood disorders. Patients were dissatisfied with medical or procedural treatments in 45.9% and 34.6%, respectively. LIMITATIONS Data were self-reported. Patients with more severe disease may have been selected. CONCLUSION HS patients have identified several critical unmet needs that will require stakeholder collaboration to meaningfully address.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Hidradenitis suppurativa has been associated with a number of pathologies, including various endocrine and autoimmune disorders. Although signs of hyperandrogenism are common in hidradenitis suppurativa, few formal studies have assessed the relationship between hidradenitis suppurativa and polycystic ovarian syndrome. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the association between hidradenitis suppurativa and polycystic ovarian syndrome. METHODS We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis according to PRISMA guidelines. Odds ratio was used as the effect size, with random-effects meta-analysis. RESULTS We identified five case-control studies for inclusion. From pooled data, we found a significantly higher proportion of polycystic ovarian syndrome in hidradenitis suppurativa cases compared with controls (OR 2.64; 95% CI 1.69-4.11; P < 0.00001). There was significant heterogeneity noted (I2 = 88%, P < 0.00001). Limitations included that studies reviewed were observational by design which are susceptible to bias, and lack of randomisation. CONCLUSIONS In summary, pooled analysis of existing case-control studies supports a significant association between hidradenitis suppurativa and polycystic ovarian syndrome. Our results imply that hidradenitis suppurativa patients with signs of hyperandrogenism may benefit from screening for polycystic ovarian syndrome, and may potentially benefit from anti-androgen therapy.
