Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa are associated with risk of new-onset glaucoma: a propensity-score-matched cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Ocular comorbidities of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) has been widely evaluated; however real-world evidence was scarce. Moreover, risk of glaucoma in HS patients remained unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the 5-year glaucoma risk in HS patients. Methods: This retrospective cohort study used the TriNetX database covering 2005-2017. In total, 53,281 HS patients were propensity score matched 1:1 to controls based on demographics, including comorbidities, medications, healthcare utilization, etc. Patients were followed for 5 years post-index date.

Results: After matching, baseline characteristics were similar betwe
