Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the hair follicles. Guidelines for the management of HS in North Africa are lacking. We aimed to develop the Tunisian consensus for the management of HS using the conventional Delphi method.
A multidisciplinary panel of 33 experts in the management of HS was selected. A two-round Delphi method was conducted. The first questionnaire consisted of 134 items generated based on a review of the latest international guidelines in the management of HS.
Among the 134 items proposed in the first round, 73 have reached a consensual agreement (median ≥7, and 70% or more responses were ≥7). An agreement was reached for 32 items proposed in the second round. A management algorithm was developed based on consensual items.
The results of this consensus represent a key step in improving the management of patients with HS in North Africa.
化脓性汗腺炎(HS)是一种毛囊慢性炎症性疾病。北非缺乏HS的管理指南。我们旨在采用传统德尔菲法制定突尼斯HS管理共识。
选取了33名HS管理方面的多学科专家组成小组。进行了两轮德尔菲法。第一轮问卷包含基于对HS管理最新国际指南的回顾而生成的134个项目。
在第一轮提出的134个项目中,73个已达成共识(中位数≥7,且70%或更多的回答≥7)。第二轮提出的32个项目达成了一致意见。基于达成共识的项目制定了管理算法。
这一共识的结果是改善北非HS患者管理的关键一步。
