Comprehensive Codified Algorithms to Identify the Underestimated Burden of Hidradenitis Suppurativa in the United States.
Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a painful, inflammatory skin disease associated with a high disease burden and long diagnostic delay. Prevalence estimates of HS vary widely in the literature owing to differing estimation methodologies. This study aimed to apply stepwise algorithms to estimate the prevalence of possible/diagnosed cases of HS in the US.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study in adult and pediatric patients with HS which utilized data from four US databases (MarketScan [Medicare and Medicaid] and Optum [electronic health record (EHR) and Clinformatics Data Mart (CDM)]). Patients with possible/diagnosed HS were identified using two algorithms (termed Algorithm 1 and Algorithm 2), which assessed symptoms such as multiple skin boils in site-specific areas based on international classification of disease (ICD) codes. Patients with diagnosed HS were defined as having ≥ 2 outpatient or ≥ 1 inpatient diagnosis codes of HS. In each database, patients with continuous medical and pharmacy benefits in the 365 days pre-index and 0-365 days post-index periods were eligible for inclusion.
Results: Across all databases, Algorithm 2 (MarketScan Medicare [N = 309,916]; MarketScan Medicaid [N = 188,783]; Optum EHR [N = 366,158]; Optum CDM [N = 173,812]) identified more patients with possible/diagnosed HS than Algorithm 1 (MarketScan Medicare [N = 194,353]; MarketScan Medicaid [N = 99,276]; Optum EHR [N = 177,957]; Optum CDM [N = 112,244]). Based on ICD-9/10 codes, the 5-year period prevalence of HS ranged from 0.06% to 0.12% across all databases, while for Algorithm 1 and Algorithm 2, this ranged from 0.27% to 0.41% and 0.49% to 0.78%, respectively. Adults and females generally had a higher 5-year period prevalence versus pediatric patients and males, respectively.
Conclusion: This real-world study highlights that HS diagnosis codes alone may be insufficient to estimate the prevalence of HS, demonstrating the value of employing algorithms in practice which assess for parameters such as multiple skin boils in site-specific areas. Integrating robust methods to identify the prevalence of HS may improve the diagnostic delay observed in HS and improve treatment outcomes.
期刊介绍：
Dermatology and Therapy is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, rapid publication journal (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance). The journal is dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of dermatological therapies. Studies relating to diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health and epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
Areas of focus include, but are not limited to all clinical aspects of dermatology, such as skin pharmacology; skin development and aging; prevention, diagnosis, and management of skin disorders and melanomas; research into dermal structures and pathology; and all areas of aesthetic dermatology, including skin maintenance, dermatological surgery, and lasers.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports/case series, trial protocols, and short communications. Dermatology and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an International and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of quality research, which may be considered of insufficient interest by other journals. The journal appeals to a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world.
