Gender, race, and economic factors influencing screening practices in hidradenitis suppurativa: a cross-sectional analysis.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Despite its substantial burden, HS remains underdiagnosed and undertreated, particularly among marginalized populations. This study aimed to elucidate the primary social determinants of health (SDOH) and structural determinants of health (StDOH) influencing rates and patterns of screening for patients diagnosed with HS.
