BACKGROUND/AIM: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin disease with a heavy impact on patients' quality of life (QoL). The aim of this study was to evaluate in detail the QoL impact of HS comparing it with other skin conditions, and in particular with psoriasis.
Patients with a diagnosis of HS were recruited. QoL was measured using the Skindex-17 questionnaire.
Data were available for 69 HS patients. HS had the worst QoL among several skin conditions. Compared to psoriasis the mean symptom score was 69.4 versus 53.7, and the mean psychosocial score was 56.1 versus 32.7. Overall, the scores of patients with HS were higher than those of psoriasis patients on 16 of the 17 items of the Skindex-17.
When compared to many different skin conditions, and in particular to psoriasis, HS was the most impairing condition, even at low levels of clinical severity.
背景/目的:化脓性汗腺炎(HS)是一种慢性皮肤病,对患者的生活质量(QoL)有重大影响。本研究的目的是详细评估 HS 对 QoL 的影响,并将其与其他皮肤状况进行比较,特别是与银屑病进行比较。
招募了被诊断为 HS 的患者。使用 Skindex-17 问卷来衡量 QoL。
共有 69 名 HS 患者的数据可用。在几种皮肤状况中,HS 的 QoL 最差。与银屑病相比,平均症状评分分别为 69.4 与 53.7,平均心理社会评分分别为 56.1 与 32.7。总体而言,在 Skindex-17 的 17 个项目中,HS 患者的 16 个项目的评分均高于银屑病患者。
与许多不同的皮肤状况相比,尤其是与银屑病相比,即使在低临床严重程度水平下,HS 也是最具损害性的疾病。
