Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin condition with recurrent, debilitating flares. Although the majority of patients with HS endorse flares, there is a lack of research regarding HS experts' flare management practices and perspectives.
METHODS: An anonymous online survey was distributed through an HS expert listserv. Board-certified dermatologists who saw 1 or more HS patient(s) per month were eligible for participation.
RESULTS: A total of 35 responses were collected; 97.1% self-identified as HS experts. Therapies used for HS flares by more than two-thirds of the respondents included systemic antibiotics (100%), nonprescription pain relievers (91.4%), intralesional triamcinolone injections (91.4%), prescription pain relievers (71.4%), oral corticosteroids (68.6%), and warm compresses (68.6%). The top 3 dermatologist-reported barriers that patients face in accessing care during flares include lack of clinic appointment availability (88.6%), distance that patients have to travel to reach clinic (85.7%), and lack of transportation for patients (62.9%).
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, this study highlights variations in the ways that HS experts manage flares. Many of the treatment modalities used by the majority of respondents are not part of the official North American guidelines. Further prospective studies and expert consensus guidelines are needed to standardize the approach to flare management.
