Abstract

Background: The prevalence of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) varies widely in different epidemiologic studies from different parts of the world and very few data are available from South Asia.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of HS in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Methods: An exploratory, cross-sectional, and descriptive study was done among 2,500 consecutive healthy accompanying adults of patients attending at the outpatient department (except dermatology), at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. This was an initiative of Global Hidradenitis Suppurativa Atlas (GHiSA), and it therefore followed the approach previously published by Bouazzi et al. Results: Out of a total of 2,377 accompanying persons, 3 were diagnosed with HS. The point prevalence was 0.13% (CI: 0.04%-0.37%), sensitivity was 0.1 (3/3), specificity was 0.1 (23/23), positive predictive value positive predictive value (PPV) was 0.1 (3/3), and the negative predictive value was 0.1 (23/23). The median age of the HS patients was 45.0, and the median BMI was 28.0. All 3 confirmed HS were male.

Conclusions: The prevalence of HS in Bangladesh is lower than in western countries and other GHiSA studies like Singapore, Ghana, and Greenland.

孟加拉国达卡化脓性汗腺炎的流行：一项基于医院的研究。

背景：在世界不同地区的不同流行病学研究中，化脓性汗腺炎（HS）的流行率差异很大，南亚的数据很少。目的：本研究的目的是确定HS在孟加拉国达卡的流行情况。方法：在孟加拉国达卡的Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib医科大学医院门诊（皮肤科除外）的2500名连续健康陪同成人患者中进行了一项探索性、横断面和描述性研究。这是全球化脓性汗腺炎地图集（GHiSA）的一项倡议，因此它遵循了Bouazzi等人先前发表的方法。结果：在2377名随行人员中，3人被诊断为HS。点患病率为0.13% (CI: 0.04% ~ 0.37%)，敏感性为0.1(3/3)，特异性为0.1(23/23)，阳性预测值阳性预测值（PPV）为0.1(3/3)，阴性预测值为0.1（23/23）。HS患者的中位年龄为45.0岁，中位BMI为28.0。三名确诊的HS均为男性。结论：孟加拉国的HS患病率低于西方国家和其他GHiSA研究，如新加坡、加纳和格陵兰。
