Individuals with moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and draining tunnels experience greater clinical and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) impacts compared to patients without draining tunnels, new findings suggest.1

These findings resulted from new research conducted to characterize the clinical profile of individuals diagnosed with moderate-to-severe HS, specifically looking at patients with and without draining tunnels.

The investigators—led by JR Ingram, MSc, of University Hospital of Wales—noted that previous research has outlined the high HS-associated burdens faced by patients. They added that prior data had also been published describing the suboptimal management of the skin disease and the high level of HR-QoL impacts on those with the disease.2
