9824 —Prevention of taxane-induced alopecia and nail toxicity

Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and psoriasis have been linked to cardiovascular disease. There is currently a deficiency in the literature regarding the prevalence of clinically important cardiovascular diseases that arise in patients with HS in a United States population. We sought to determine the odds of stroke, coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure (HF), and peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients with HS compared with patients with psoriasis and controls.
