Impact of Psoriasis and Hidradenitis Suppurativa in Pregnancy, a Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) are chronic inflammatory skin diseases that frequently develop in young women. The aim of this study is to evaluate how hidradenitis suppurativa and psoriasis impact women desiring to conceive, and their influence on fertility and gestation. A systematic review of articles dating from January 2015 to April 2021 was performed using the Scopus (Elsevier) database. The search terms were (psoriasis and (birth or pregnancy or fertility)) and ((hidradenitis suppurativa or acne inversa) and (birth or pregnancy or fertility)). The search was limited to human data. Systematic reviews, case reports, clinical practice guidelines, expert consensus and conference papers were excluded. The impact of HS on pregnancy includes an impaired desire for pregnancy, a decrease in fertility, the worsening of the disease during pregnancy and potential adverse events during pregnancy. Moreover, the pregnancy might imply a change on the treatment of HS. The impact of psoriasis on pregnancy includes a decrease in fertility, potential adverse events during pregnancy and an unpredictable evolution of the disease. Moreover, the pregnancy might imply a change on the treatment of psoriasis, although biologic therapies do not appear to increase the risk of adverse events. In conclusion, both HS and psoriasis have an impact on pregnancy. A decrease of fertility has been reported. Moreover, both diseases have an unpredictable evolution during pregnancy. Pregnant women who are under biologic therapy do not seem to have a higher rate of adverse events. Treatment of both conditions is usually halted during pregnancy since scientific evidence about their safety is not conclusive, or teratogenic risk has been proven.

Project description:BackgroundHidradenitis suppurativa were associated with comorbidities in various organ systems. Inflammatory dermatological diseases such as pyoderma gangrenosum were reported to be associated with hidradenitis suppurativa. Nevertheless, as for the association between hidradenitis suppurativa and psoriasis, evidences were insufficient. In many studies, the association between psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa has been reported. However, some evidence seems to be controversial. The purpose of the systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess whether there was significant association between HS and psoriasis.MethodsOn June 01, 2022, we appraised 2,795 articles from databases including PubMed, Web of Science and Embase. Search syntaxes were based on 'hidradenitis suppurativa' or 'acne inversa' with "psoriasis", "comorbidities" or 'epidemiology'. Synonyms were determined based on MeSH terms and Emtree. Observational results that evaluated the odds ratio for people with hidradenitis suppurativa who had psoriasis were extracted for qualitative synthesis.ResultsAfter the selection process of the initial 2,795 studies, ten observational studies, including 3 cohort studies, 1 case-control study, and 6 cross-sectional studies, were extracted for critical appraisal. Based on the integration of 7 studies (with more than 560,000 participants included), people with hidradenitis suppurativa had a higher risk of having psoriasis, with a 2.67-fold risk (95% CI, 1.84, 3.87). The association remained in the sensitivity analyses utilizing strict adjustment models. In the analysis that only included studies with a similar study design and adjustments in obesity-related factors, the risk of people with hidradenitis suppurativa having psoriasis was 3.24 (95% CI, 2.27, 4.62). In male patients with HS, the risk of having psoriasis was 4.30-fold higher than male patients without HS (95% CI, 2.37, 7.78). Likewise, in an analysis including 3 cross-sectional studies, the risk of female HS patients having psoriasis was 3.94-fold higher than female HS-free patients (95% CI, 2.34, 6.63).ConclusionsThe co-occurrence of hidradenitis suppurativa and psoriasis can greatly increase the burden of the disease. Psoriasis could be one of the critical comorbidities of hidradenitis suppurativa and should be recommended for future screening and follow up. The association between the two diseases should be kept in mind in managing hidradenitis suppurativa patients. More prospective studies are needed to establish the true magnitude of the association between psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa.

Project description:BackgroundMental disorders in comorbidity with chronic skin diseases may worsen disease outcome and patients' quality of life. We hypothesized the comorbidity of depression, anxiety syndromes, or symptoms as attributable to biological mechanisms that the combined diseases share.MethodsWe conducted a systematic review based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis statement searching into PubMed, PsycInfo, and Scopus databases. We examined the literature regarding the comorbidity of psoriasis (Ps), atopic dermatitis (AD), or hidradenitis suppurativa with depression and/or anxiety in adults ≥18 years and the hypothetical shared underlying biological mechanisms.ResultsSixteen studies were analyzed, mostly regarding Ps and AD. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor/tropomyosin receptor kinase B signaling and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells/p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways arose as shared mechanisms in Ps animal models with depression- and/or anxiety-like behaviors. Activated microglia and neuroinflammatory responses emerged in AD depressive models. As to genetic studies, atopic-dermatitis patients with comorbid anxiety traits carried the short variant of serotonin transporter and a polymorphism of the human translocator protein gene. A GA genotype of catechol-O-methyltransferase gene was instead associated with Ps. Reduced natural killer cell activity, IL-4, serotonin serum levels, and increased plasma cortisol and IgE levels were hypothesized in comorbid depressive AD patients. In Ps patients with comorbid depression, high serum concentrations of IL-6 and IL-18, as well as IL-17A, were presumed to act as shared inflammatory mechanisms.ConclusionsFurther studies should investigate mental disorders and chronic skin diseases concurrently across patients' life course and identify their temporal relation and biological correlates. Future research should also identify biological characteristics of individuals at high risk of the comorbid disorders and associated complications.

Project description:IntroductionHidradenitis suppurativa (HS) has a profound negative impact on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Here we summarize the evidence on HRQoL and Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) in patients with HS in real-world settings by conducting a systematic literature review (SLR) of observational studies.MethodsData sources included MEDLINE, Embase & PsycINFO between January 1, 2010 and August 29, 2021, and conference proceedings between 2019 and 2021. Identified abstracts were reviewed and screened independently by two reviewers. Eligibility criteria included patients with HS of any severity, sample size ≥ 100, reporting PROs including HRQoL measures. Included studies were critically appraised.ResultsFifty-eight observational studies matched inclusion criteria. Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) was the most commonly utilized instrument: 57% of included studies reported mean baseline DLQI scores, ranging between 8.4 and 16.9, indicating a very large impact on the patients' HRQoL. Higher scores were reported with increasing disease severity and among female patients. Pain was assessed mostly by an 11-point (0-10) numeric rating scale (NRS) with a mean baseline score ranging from 3.6 to 7.7 indicating moderate to high pain levels. There was a negative impact of HS on patients' psychological well-being, based on PRO scores related to depression and anxiety. A high proportion of sexual dysfunction was reported, with a larger impact on women than men. Work productivity and leisure activity were consistently found to be impaired in patients with HS.ConclusionsAll included studies reported a negative impact of HS on patients' lives. A diverse set of disease- and non-disease-specific PRO instruments were utilized highlighting the need for more consistent use of HS-specific validated PRO instruments to assess the impact of HS on the different aspects of patients' HRQoL to allow for data to be more meaningfully interpreted and compared in real-world settings. Patients with HS need better disease management approaches that address the observed low quality of life.
