Clinical and laboratory characteristics of hidradenitis suppurativa in a Chinese cohort: a retrospective analysis of 197 cases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The clinical and laboratory characteristics of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), particularly indicators related to disease severity, remain inadequately explored in Asian populations.

Objectives

To characterize the clinical and laboratory features of HS in Chinese patients and to identify risk factors for disease severity.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 197 patients with HS in China. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected. Disease severity was graded using the Hurley staging system. Comprehensive statistical analyses were conducted.

Results
