Management and Burden of Hidradenitis Suppurativa: An Italian Hybrid Real-World Study.
Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease that severely impacts quality of life and carries a substantial economic burden.
Methods: This multicenter observational study generated real-world evidence on HS in Italy, focusing on clinical profiles, management, and costs. Data were collected from 50 adults at four specialized centers, combining primary data with retrospective administrative data.
Results: Patients with moderate-to-severe disease had longer diagnostic delays (median 1.8 versus 0.7 years), lower symptom control (40.7% versus 95.2%), and worse quality of life (Dermatology Life Quality Index: 11.8 versus 8.0) than those with mild disease. Furthermore, HS was associated with higher costs in moderate-to-severe cases, including greater direct (€2214 versus €873) and indirect expenses (€2435 versus €262).
Conclusions: The findings highlight the social and economic burden of HS and emphasize the need for increased healthcare awareness for earlier diagnosis and better management.
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.
