Burden of Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Systematic Literature Review of Patient Reported Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Hidradenitis 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.
