Abstract:
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by painful skin abscesses, fistulizing sinus tracts, and scarring. Despite its devastating negative effects on patients' health, quality of life, performance, and mental health, HS epidemiology is not well understood. This study aims to better characterize the epidemiology of HS, including incidence, prevalence, various demographic distributions, and risk factors. This can further the understanding of HS disease development and improve recognition, diagnosis, and treatment.
