Risk of psychiatric adverse events in hidradenitis suppurativa patients treated with biologics: Results from the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS)

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is associated with psychiatric morbidity including suicidal behaviors. Biologics are effective in the treatment of HS. There are reports of psychiatric adverse events (AE) including suicidal behaviors in conjunction with the use of some biologics. This could be a confounding factor for the psychiatric morbidity encountered in HS.
