Development of HiSQOL: A Hidradenitis Suppurativa-Specific Quality of Life Instrument

Conclusions: We have comprehensively explored on HS ’s possible effect on the QOL of the affected individuals and identified a 23-item HS-specific QOL questionnaire. The questionnaire proved to be feasible, acceptable, and comprehensible in the second round of pilot testing. With HiSQOL, researchers can measure HS-specific QOL in future clinical tr ials, potentially enabling them to discover more effective treatment options. It is envisaged, that after thorough validation in a trial setting, a streamlined version of HISQOL may also become available for clinical use in daily practice.Skin Appendage Disord
