Burden of Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Systematic Literature Review of Patient Reported Outcomes

ConclusionsAll included studies reported a negative impact of HS on patients ’ lives. A diverse set of disease- and non-disease-specific PRO instruments were utilized highlighting the need for more consistent use of HS-specific validated PRO instruments to assess the impact of HS on the different aspects of patients’ HRQoL to allow for data to be more meaningfully interp reted and compared in real-world settings. Patients with HS need better disease management approaches that address the observed low quality of life.
