Quality of life impairment in hidradenitis suppurativa : A study of 61 cases
TLDR
Quality of life impact in hidradenitis was much greater than that of several other dermatologic conditions and this hospital-based population may not be representative.Abstract:
Objective We sought to determine quality of life impairment in hidradenitis suppurativa. Methods Questionnaires were administered to 61 patients. Results Quality of life impact in hidradenitis was much greater than that of several other dermatologic conditions. Limitation This hospital-based population may not be representative. Conclusion Hidradenitis is one of the most distressing conditions observed in dermatology.read more
