Among its psychological repercussions, besides anxiety and depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has emerged. Multiple studies have indicated an increased risk of OCD in patients with AD. This systematic review aims to synthesize and evaluate the current literature on the association between AD and OCD, with particular attention to mechanisms linking disease and integrative treatment approaches. A search of the PubMed, PsycINFO and Web of Science databases was performed on 12 September 2024 to select peer-reviewed English-language studies relevant to our topic. Our results revealed the influences of demographic variables such as sex, age and atopic severity as being central to concomitant disease prevalence, with women and young adults having the highest risk of comorbidity. The complex interaction between the two disease states is thought to be a bidirectional relationship characterized by immunological, behavioural and genetic factors. Hence, an understanding of the underlying pathophysiology is necessary for comprehensive management. Patients may benefit from a multifaceted approach, including prescription of immunomodulatory agents and referral to psychiatry and psychology. Ultimately, we seek to inform clinical practice by advocating for interdisciplinary approaches to care and providing the framework for future investigations.</p>","PeriodicalId":10324,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Dermatology","volume":" ","pages":"1968-1974"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144282637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this systematic review, we evaluated the quality and readability of HS-related information across artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content, search--engine-derived resources and social media platforms. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar identified 17 studies published between 2017 and 2024 that assessed HS-related online content using validated scoring tools and/or physician evaluation. More than 50% of studies rated online HS materials as variable in quality, with 36% rating them as moderate. Readability -assessments revealed that most resources exceeded the recommended sixth-grade to eighth-grade school level, limiting accessibility for patients. Social media platforms, particularly TikTok and YouTube, featured highly engaging but frequently inaccurate or anecdotal content, with physician-generated materials receiving lower engagement than nonmedical resources. These findings highlight the critical need for simplified, -evidence-based online resources to improve health literacy and support informed decision-making by patients with HS. The prevalence of misinformation, particularly regarding alternative treatments and pharmaceutical scepticism, underscores the urgent need to develop enhanced patient education strategies. Future efforts should focus on AI-driven readability improvements, clinician engagement in digital education and collaboration with social media platforms to ensure the availability of accessible, high-quality HS information.</p>","PeriodicalId":10324,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Dermatology","volume":" ","pages":"1937-1944"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144172291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
