Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with hidradenitis suppurativa: Results from a multicenter cross-sectional study.

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is often associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD; Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis). However, the prevalence of IBD in HS patients is unknown.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of IBD in HS patients, and determine if patients with HS and IBD have a distinct HS phenotype.

Intralesional triamcinolone for flares of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS): A case series.

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the hair follicle. Standard practice of managing acute flares with corticosteroid injection lacks scientific evidence.

Objective: We sought to assess the outcomes of routine treatment using intralesional triamcinolone (triamcinolone acetonide 10 mg/mL) in the management of acute flares in HS.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is associated with low socioeconomic status (SES): A cross-sectional reference study.

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic debilitating disease, whereby school attendance and employment can be disturbed.

Objective: We sought to determine the socioeconomic status (SES) in patients with HS relative to other dermatologic patients, and whether specific clinical HS characteristics correlate with SES.

Methods: For this multicenter cross-sectional reference study, data were collected from patients with HS and sex- and age-matched dermatologic patients in a 1:2 ratio.

The Handicap of Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin disease, with painful, foul-smelling, recurring inflammation, leading to a diminished quality of life. Patients with HS also often suffer from depression, have an impaired sexual health, and may have difficulty performing their work duties.

Correlation of early-onset hidradenitis suppurativa with stronger genetic susceptibility and more widespread involvement.

Background: The reported mean age of onset of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is between 20 and 24 years. Prepubertal onset is thought to be rare.

Objective: We sought to determine the prevalence of early-onset HS and to compare clinical characteristics between early-onset and normal-onset HS in a retrospective study.

Hidradenitis suppurativa: a retrospective study of 846 Dutch patients to identify factors associated with disease severity.

Background: Few comprehensive studies exist on the epidemiology of hidradenitis suppurativa, a very distressing skin disease.

Objective: We sought to identify disease-related factors associated with severity, sex, and family history.

Methods: Ordinal logistic regression was used in 846 consecutive Dutch patients with hidradenitis suppurativa to calculate odds ratios (ORs) for severity according to Hurley.
