Association of Hidradenitis Suppurativa With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are inflammatory diseases that share common genetic susceptibility and immunologic features. However, the link between HS and IBD has been largely unclear.

Objective

To conduct a meta-analysis to investigate the association between HS and IBD.

Data sources

A search of the MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Embase databases yielded 397 relevant studies from inception to June 10, 2018. Two additional studies were supplied by one of the investigators.

Study selection

Case-control, cross-sectional, or cohort studies that examined the odds or risk of IBD in patients with HS were included. No geographic or language limitations were imposed.
