Abstract
BACKGROUND Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a multifactorial inflammatory skin disease that is considered to be an immune-mediated inflammatory disease (IMID). Up till now, the impact of lifestyle on (the development of) HS has not been thoroughly investigated. OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of dietary intake and physical activity (PA) on (the development of) HS. MATERIALS AND METHODS A nested case-control study was performed within the longitudinal Lifelines Cohort Study, that took place in the Northern Netherlands, and identified 1004 adult eligible HS patients and 5000 age-matched controls. Dietary data were collected using a validated food frequency questionnaire, subsequently translated to the Lifelines Diet Score (LLDS), alternate Mediterranean Diet Score (aMED) and Dutch Dietary Guidelines score (DDG), with higher scores reflecting healthier dietary habits. PA was measured by the Short Questionnaire to Assess Health-enhancing PA score. Logistic regression analyses were performed between dietary/PA scores, and the prevalence/development and severity of HS. RESULTS Compared to controls, HS patients scored lower on the LLDS [OR = 0.98; 95% CI 0.96-0.99], aMED [0.93; 0.89-0.97] and DDG [0.93; 0.88-0.97] with multivariable regression analysis. Overall, this indicates less adherence to dietary recommendations and consumption of a low-quality diet in the HS population. Lower adherence to the LLDS and DDG was also significantly associated with a higher likelihood to HS development in univariable regression analysis [0.96; 0.94-0.99 and 0.91; 0.84-0.99, respectively], and a trend of decreased adherence to the aMED [0.93; 0.85-1.02] was noted. Besides, PA levels were found significantly lower in HS patients (p ≤ 0.001). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Poor diet quality and lower quantities of PA were associated with HS in the general population. Identifying dietary and PA habits of HS patients can contribute to the development of prevention strategies for HS specifically, and for IMIDs in general.

Abstract
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a heterogeneous chronic relapsing skin disease. Several assessment tools are used to assess disease severity and to classify disease phenotype; however, no consensus exists. This review evaluates the various assessment tools and phenotypes, assessing their validity and reliability. Numerous assessment tools and phenotype classifications have been proposed for identifying various subtypes within the hidradenitis suppurativa disease spectrum. Each has a different purpose, such as use in daily practice or in clinical trial settings. Several assessment tools and phenotype classifications have been validated but not always with satisfactory results and often with studies showing divergent intra-rater reliability results. A consensus is needed for a validated, easy-to-use, and timesaving assessment tool for routine daily practice. For clinical trials, a validated and extensive assessment tool that also measures response to treatment is also needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Effectiveness of available biologics for the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is limited. Additional therapeutic options are highly needed. OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and mode of action of guselkumab (an anti-IL-23p19 monoclonal antibody) 200 mg s.c., every four weeks for 16 weeks in HS patients. METHODS An open label, multicenter, phase IIa trial in patients with moderate-to-severe HS. The pharmacodynamic response in skin and blood was measured after 16 weeks of treatment. Clinical efficacy was assessed using the HS clinical response (HiSCR), the International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System (IHS4), and the abscess and inflammatory nodule (AN) count. RESULTS Thirteen out of 20 patients (65%) achieved HiSCR with also a significant decrease in the median IHS4-score (8.5 to 5.0, p=.002) and the median AN-count (6.5 to 4.0, p=0.002). The overall patient reported outcomes did not show a similar trend. One SAE, likely unrelated to guselkumab treatment was observed. Transcriptomic analysis revealed, in lesional skin, upregulation of various genes associated with inflammation such as immunoglobulin, S100, MMP, keratin, B cell and complement genes, which decreased after treatment in clinical responders. Immunohistochemistry revealed a marked decrease in inflammatory markers in clinical responders at week 16. CONCLUSIONS Sixty five (65) percent of moderate-to-severe HS patients achieved HiSCR after 16 weeks of treatment with guselkumab. We could not demonstrate a consistent correlation between gene and protein expression and clinical responses. The main limitations of this study are the small sample size and the absence of a placebo arm. The large placebo-controlled phase IIb NOVA-trial for guselkumab in HS patients, reported a lower HiSCR response of 45.0 to 50.8%, and 38.7% for the placebo group. Guselkumab seems of benefit to only a subgroup of HS patients, indicating that the IL-23/Th17-axis is not central to the pathophysiology of HS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cohort studies on the use of retinoids for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) have yielded contradicting results. As the clinical presentation of HS is heterogeneous, with different predilection sites and hallmark features, it can be hypothesized that HS phenotypes are associated with the effectiveness of specific retinoid treatments. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the drug survival of oral retinoids in the treatment of HS and to establish predictors for longer treatment duration. METHODS A retrospective, dual-center study was conducted in the Netherlands in adult HS patients treated with oral retinoids between 2011 and 2021. Drug survival analyses were performed through Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Additionally, Cox regression models were used to determine predictors for a longer drug survival. RESULTS In total, 102 patients were included. Overall drug survival of (low-dose) isotretinoin (n = 66) at 12 and 24 months was 44.2% and 15.5%, respectively. Termination of treatment was mostly due to ineffectiveness (26%). Presence of widespread comedones (p = 0.03) and the use of concomitant systemic medication (p = 0.04) were associated with a prolonged treatment duration. For acitretin (n = 36), the overall drug survival was 42.0% at 12 months and 37.4% at 24 months, and was also predominantly determined by ineffectiveness (28%). Interestingly, the scarring folliculitis phenotype (p < 0.05) was associated with prolonged drug survival time for acitretin treatment relative to the regular phenotype. CONCLUSION Comparable drug survival rates at 12 months for isotretinoin and acitretin were found. HS patients with widespread comedones and the scarring folliculitis phenotype could benefit from treatment with isotretinoin or acitretin, respectively.

Abstract
Background Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic autoinflammatory skin condition and is associated with several comorbidities. Previous studies report variable prevalence rates of HS, depending on the methodology. However, the exact prevalence remains unknown. Objectives To estimate the prevalence of HS in a large population‐based cohort in the Northern Netherlands, and to compare patients with HS to the general population, investigate characteristics and identify potential associated comorbidities. Methods Data were collected through a cross‐sectional survey‐based study within the Lifelines Cohort Study (n = 167 729), based on the general population located in the Northern Netherlands. A digital self‐reported questionnaire was developed consisting of validated questions for determining HS. Results Among 56 084 respondents, the overall prevalence of HS was 2.1% [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.0–2.2]. The respondents with HS had lower socioeconomic status than the controls (P < 0.001) and more frequently currently smoked (P < 0.001). Several new significant associations in patients with HS were revealed, such as fibromyalgia (OR 2.26, 95% CI 1.64–3.11), irritable bowel syndrome (OR 1.63, 95% CI 1.18–2.26), chronic fatigue syndrome (OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.06–2.78) and migraine (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.11–1.96). Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome remained significantly associated with HS in the multivariate analysis after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, smoking status and socioeconomic status. Conclusions Our study showed a higher prevalence of HS in the Northern Netherlands compared with the overall estimated prevalence of 1% and identified several new associated comorbidities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biologics are often required for the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). However, data on the drug survival of biologics in daily practice are currently lacking. OBJECTIVES To assess the drug survival of antitumour necrosis factor biologics in a daily practice cohort of patients with HS and to identify predictors for drug survival. METHODS A retrospective multicentre study was performed in two academic dermatology centres in the Netherlands. Adult patients with HS using biologics between 2008 and 2020 were included. Drug survival was analysed with Kaplan-Meier survival curves and predictors of survival with univariate Cox regression analysis. RESULTS The overall drug survival of adalimumab (n = 104) at 12 and 24 months was 56·3% and 30·5%, respectively, which was predominantly determined by infectiveness. Older age (P = 0·02) and longer disease duration (P < 0·01) were associated with longer survival time. For infliximab (n = 44), overall drug survival was 58·3% and 48·6% at 12 and 24 months, respectively, and was predominantly determined by infectiveness and side-effects. Surgery during treatment was associated with a longer survival time (P = 0·01). CONCLUSIONS Survival rates were comparable for adalimumab and infliximab at 12 months, and were mainly determined by ineffectiveness. Age, disease duration (adalimumab) and surgery (infliximab) are predictors for longer survival.

Abstract
Aquagenic wrinkling of the palms (AWP) is a rare, acquired condition of the skin, defined by transient rapidly developing white to translucent papules on palms and/or soles after brief exposure to water. Aquagenic wrinkling of the palms is associated with cystic fibrosis (CF). Therefore, the diagnosis of AWP can be important. Etiopathogenesis of AWP is still unclear. Treatment is often unsatisfactory and can be very challenging. This article contributes to the knowledge of AWP as we describe two new cases of aquagenic wrinkling of the palms: one patient with familial history of CF and one patient with AWP that was presumed to be induced by use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition, we present a review of the literature on drug-induced AWP.

Abstract
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) accounts for 7-10% of all dialyzed renal insufficient patients. Accumulation of specific guanidino compounds (GCs) has been related to neurological, cardiovascular, hematological, and immunological complications of renal failure. In this study, we investigate whether the PKD/Mhm rat model can be used as a biochemical model for human PKD. For the validation of the rat model, we performed the first detailed evaluation of the concentrations of GCs in serum and urine of patients with PKD in addition to the GC patterns in the plasma, urine, and tissues of the PKD/Mhm rat model. The GCs were determined after separation on a cation exchange resin and fluorescence detection. The GC levels and changes observed in blood and urine of patients with PKD are comparable with those found in patients with renal insufficiency due to different etiologies. The PKD/Mhm rat model can be used as a biochemical model for human PKD as the obvious increases of urea, guanidinosuccinic acid, creatinine, guanidine, methylguanidine, and N(G)N(G)-dimethylarginine (symmetrical dimethylarginine) seen in blood of oldest heterozygous and younger homozygous PKD rats were largely within the same range as those found in the studied human PKD population, especially in patients with a glomerular filtration rate below 60 ml/min/1.73 m(2). The decreased levels of plasma guanidinoacetic acid seen at end-stage renal disease in homozygous and oldest heterozygous rats were also observed in serum of patients with a glomerular filtration rate below 20 ml/min/1.73 m(2). The PKD/Mhm rat model has, besides similar disease characteristics with human PKD, comparable GC alterations.
