Association between hidradenitis suppurativa and atopic diseases: a multi-center, propensity-score-matched cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Cross-sectional evidence has suggested a high prevalence of atopic diseases in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). However, there is a lack of evidence based on longitudinal studies. This study aimed to assess the risk of different atopic diseases, including asthma, atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis, in patients with HS. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, data from the TriNetX research network were obtained. Patients with HS were enrolled, and a 1:1 propensity score matching was performed to select a non-HS control group. Matching covariates included age, sex, race, comorbidities, comedications, socioeconomic status, lab data, and medical utilization status. Hazard ratios (HR) for atopic diseases were assessed. Results: Over a 15-y
