Medical and Surgical Management of Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Review of International Treatment Guidelines and Implementation in General Dermatology Practice.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic painful skin disease that severely impairs patients' quality of life. While high-quality trials of HS therapies remain limited, medical knowledge of best treatment practices is rapidly evolving, leading to the recent publication of multiple international treatment guidelines for HS.

Summary

This review compares international HS treatment guidelines, describes evidence for effectiveness of common and emerging HS therapies, and provides guidance for integrating evidence-based HS care into practice. Although over 50 medical and procedural treatments are mentioned across international HS guidelines, only adalimumab and infliximab have grade B/weak recommendation or higher across all major guidelines. This review describes the appropriate patient selection and effectiveness of the most commonly used medical and procedural treatments for HS. It also includes recommendations for counseling, dosing, and duration of medical therapies as well as procedure videos for the practicing dermatologist.

Current Medical and Surgical Treatment of Hidradenitis Suppurativa-A Comprehensive Review.

Project description:Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease presenting with recurrent inflammatory lesions in intertriginous body regions. HS has a pronounced impact on patients' quality of life and is associated with a variety of comorbidities. Treatment of HS is often complex, requiring an individual approach with medical and surgical treatments available. However, especially in moderate-to-severe HS, there is an urgent need for new treatment approaches. In recent years, increased research has led to the identification of new potential therapeutic targets. This review aims to give a comprehensive and practical overview of current treatment options for HS. Furthermore, the clinically most advanced novel treatment approaches will be discussed.

International Society of Paediatric Surgical Oncology (IPSO) Surgical Practice Guidelines.

Project description:Most children with tumors will require one or more surgical interventions as part of the care and treatment, including making a diagnosis, obtaining adequate venous access, performing a surgical resection for solid tumors (with staging and reconstruction), performing procedures for cancer prevention and its late effects, and managing complications of treatment; all with the goal of improving survival and quality of life. It is important for surgeons to adhere to sound pediatric surgical oncology principles, as they are closely associated with improved local control and survival. Unfortunately, there is a significant disparity in survival rates in low and middle income countries, when compared to those from high income countries. The International Society of Paediatric Surgical Oncology (IPSO) is the leading organization that deals with pediatric surgical oncology worldwide. This organization allows experts in the field from around the globe to gather and address the surgical needs of children with cancer. IPSO has been invited to contribute surgical guidance as part of the World Health Organization Initiative for Childhood Cancer. One of our goals is to provide surgical guidance for different scenarios, including those experienced in High- (HICs) and Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). With this in mind, the following guidelines have been developed by authors from both HICs and LMICs. These have been further validated by experts with the aim of providing evidence-based information for surgeons who care for children with cancer. We hope that this initiative will benefit children worldwide in the best way possible. Simone Abib, IPSO President Justin T Gerstle, IPSO Education Committee Chair Chan Hon Chui, IPSO Secretary.

Implementing Medical Chatbots: An Application on Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

Project description:BackgroundThe use of digital health resources is growing quickly as they are easily accessible and permit self-evaluation. Yet, research on consumer health informatics platforms is insufficient. Chatbots, interactive conversational platforms based on artificial intelligence, can facilitate access to specific information. Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is burdensome and has a high threshold for consultation.ObjectivesWe aimed to identify the most important principles for the assembly of medical chatbots through the analysis of usage data.MethodsThe HS Chatbot<A51_FootRef>1</A51_FootRef> is a question-and-answer platform in the style of a chatbot. Usage data were collected over the course of a year. 254 responses were statistically analysed.Results239 users were alleged patients. 82.9% were looking for a tentative diagnosis. The users were on average 32.49 (±11.33) years old and predominantly female (70.2%). The average number of clicks per visit on the website was 14.69 (±8.83).ConclusionsA medical chatbot has to be customised to the specific subject whilst general principles have to be considered. High-quality information has to be available in just a few clicks. People concerned about HS are looking for a diagnosis online and often have not seen a doctor previously. Guidance towards appropriate care should be provided.

Integrated multidisciplinary approach to hidradenitis suppurativa in clinical practice,.

Project description:BackgroundThe European hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) guidelines recommend a multidisciplinary approach for patients with HS and management of comorbidities.ObjectiveWe aimed to describe the organization of a multidisciplinary HS program and characterize the patient population.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective study of patients with HS undergoing prospectively defined multidisciplinary work-up including examinations by a dermatologist, plastic surgeon, smoking specialist, and nutritionist in our outpatient unit between October 2015 and January 2017.ResultsThe study included 49 patients with a sex ratio of 1:1. A total of 73.4% of patients were smokers, 20.4% were overweight, 48.9% were obese, and 30.6% had symptoms of depression. The mean Sartorius score was 30.4 (±17.6). The outcome of plastic surgery consultation was as follows: 16 patients had operations, 5 were excluded based on medical history, 9 refused surgery, and 16 remained undecided. The refusal rates for consulting with the smoking cessation and nutrition specialists were 55.8% and 69.5%, respectively. Twelve patients received antibiotics, 9 received biologics, 9 underwent medico-surgical treatment, 9 underwent surgery, and 10 were lost to follow-up. The mean visual analogue scale score for satisfaction was 8.3 (±1.6; n = 28).ConclusionAn integrated multidisciplinary care model for HS is associated with high patient satisfaction. Adherence to the proposed comorbidity management was higher in female patients and related to empathetic interactions with physicians.

Baseline patient-reported outcomes from UNITE: an observational, international, multicentre registry to evaluate hidradenitis suppurativa in clinical practice.

Project description:BackgroundHidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory, skin condition associated with many comorbidities and often has a substantial impact on patients' lives.ObjectivesTo evaluate symptom burden and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at baseline in patients with HS in an observational, real-world, clinical setting using several tools including a validated HS-specific instrument.MethodsThis study evaluated HRQoL data from the international UNITE HS disease registry. Administration of patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments and collection of data were executed per local regulations. All data were assessed using descriptive statistical methods.ResultsPRO data from 529 adults and 65 adolescents were evaluated. Most adults (64.5%) and adolescents (73.8%) were classified as Hurley Stage II with substantial disease burden at baseline. HS had a large effect (mean DLQI = 12.6) and moderate effect (mean CDLQI = 6.9) on the lives of adults and adolescents, respectively. Approximately 58% of adults and 41% of adolescents had anxiety scores beyond the normal range; 30% of adults and 16% of adolescents exhibited symptoms of depression. Based on HSSA and HSIA scores, approximately 30% of adults reported a substantial burden of multiple HS clinical symptoms and more than 45% reported a significant emotional impact of HS that adversely affected their intimate relationships. Only 60% of adults were employed and of those, 64% reported at least some degree of impairment while working because of HS.ConclusionsBased on PROs collected from patients enrolled in the UNITE registry, a real-world, clinical setting, HS has a significant negative impact on the everyday lives of patients affected by this disease.

Hidradenitis suppurativa and pruritus ani.

Project description:Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic debilitating disorder that can affect any areas bearing apocrine glands. Perineal HS is associated with high morbidity compared with other anatomic regions. Early-stage disease may mimic various other forms of cutaneous disorders, but as HS progresses pathognomonic skin changes occur. Clinical stage can guide the therapeutic approach, but the lowest recurrence rate is obtained by removing all involved skin and subcutaneous fat. Pruritus ani is a complex disease with a multitude of etiologies. Its management can be frustrating and disappointing for the patient and doctor alike. The key is to start with simple treatment options focusing on perianal hygiene and avoidance of the most common offending foods and beverages. If these measures fail, topical medications should be attempted before graduating to perianal injections of methylene blue as a last resort.

Clinical Implementation of Biologics and Small Molecules in the Treatment of Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

Project description:Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, recurrent, auto-inflammatory skin disease originating from the hair follicles. The typical inflammatory nodules, abscesses, and draining sinus tracts (tunnels) are characterized by a massive influx of neutrophils, macrophages, B-cells, plasma cells, T helper (Th)1, Th17 cells and upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-17, IL-12/23, and TNF-α. Over the last decades, several clinical trials evaluated the clinical efficacy of different biologics targeting these pro-inflammatory cytokines, in particular TNF-α and IL-1. However, adalimumab is still the only registered drug for HS. This review discusses biologics and small molecules with high level of evidence for their clinical application, provides guidance on when and how to use these biologics and small molecules in clinical practice, and elaborates on the combination with medical and surgical treatment options beyond the current guidelines. Furthermore this review provides an overview of potential biologics and small molecules currently under investigation for novel targets in HS such as IL-36, C5a, Janus kinase family members, CD-40, LTA4 and CXCR1/2.

Surgical Management of Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Factors Associated with Postoperative Complications and Disease Recurrence.

Project description:Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder. Treatment of HS remains challenging, and surgical procedures commonly follow attempts of conservative therapy. To date, a consensus regarding the optimal surgical technique has not been reached, and the implications of conservative therapy on future surgical outcomes have yet to be studied.MethodsA retrospective cohort study of 65 patients surgically treated for HS at a tertiary care center was conducted. Patients' medical records were screened for demographical, clinical, and surgical characteristics. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine associations with postoperative complications and disease recurrence.ResultsFifty patients (75.8%) were treated with systemic antibiotics before opting for surgical resection. Previous treatment with systemic rifampicin was associated with higher rates of postoperative complications (P = 0.029); however, systemic cephalexin and topical clindamycin were associated with a lower rate of complications (P = 0.007 and 0.040, accordingly). Medical history of smoking and surgical management with split-thickness skin grafts were associated with higher rates of postoperative complications (P = 0.012 and 0.014, accordingly). Patients with a greater number of lesions, and those treated with split-thickness skin graft, had higher rates of disease recurrence (P = 0.0018 and 0.003, accordingly).In a multivariate analysis a greater number of lesions (P = 0.0498) and the use of autologous split-thickness skin graft (P = 0.022) were independently associated with higher rates of disease recurrence.ConclusionsPrevious conservative medical therapy bears the potential to modulate postoperative outcomes in HS patients, and should be taken into consideration. Despite reports of reliable results with split-thickness skin grafts, we found them to be associated with increased rates of diseases recurrence and postoperative complications.
