Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic skin disease characterized by inflammation and disfiguring scarring in the intertriginous body areas. Hidradenitis suppurativa is associated with overweight and impaired quality of life. This study sought to describe Body Image Quality of Life (BI-QoL) in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa and to compare it with patients with other skin diseases (controls). A total of 285 participants were recruited, 141 with hidradenitis suppurativa and 144 controls, at the Department of Dermatology at Zealand University Hospital, Denmark (during 2017-18). The Danish "Body Image Quality of Life Inventory" questionnaire measured BI-QoL. Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa had significantly lower mean BI-QoL than controls: Hidradenitis suppurativa BI-QoL (standard deviation; SD) -0.87 (0.98) vs. control BI-QoL (SD) 0.01 (1.11), p < 0.001. Predictors of negative BI-QoL were hidradenitis suppurativa, increased body mass index, female sex, symptoms of depression, and body mass index moderated by hidradenitis suppurativa. These data suggest that BI-QoL is impaired in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa compared with patients with other skin diseases after adjusting for confounders.
化脓性汗腺炎是一种慢性皮肤病，其特征为在皱褶部位出现炎症和毁容性瘢痕。化脓性汗腺炎与超重和生活质量受损有关。本研究旨在描述化脓性汗腺炎患者的身体意象生活质量（BI-QoL），并将其与其他皮肤病患者（对照组）进行比较。共招募了 285 名参与者，其中 141 名患有化脓性汗腺炎，144 名为对照组，他们均在丹麦泽兰大学医院皮肤科就诊（2017-2018 年）。丹麦的“身体意象生活质量问卷”用于测量 BI-QoL。化脓性汗腺炎患者的 BI-QoL 明显低于对照组：化脓性汗腺炎 BI-QoL（平均值；标准差）为-0.87（0.98），对照组 BI-QoL（SD）为 0.01（1.11），p < 0.001。BI-QoL 较差的预测因素包括化脓性汗腺炎、体重指数增加、女性、抑郁症状和 BMI 受到化脓性汗腺炎的调节。这些数据表明，在调整混杂因素后，与其他皮肤病患者相比，化脓性汗腺炎患者的 BI-QoL 受损。
