- Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin disease often associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- The study compared 273 IBD-HS patients with 546 IBD-only controls, revealing distinct characteristics in the IBD-HS group.
- Key findings include higher prevalence in women (62%), active smokers (45%), and Crohn's disease (83%) among IBD-HS patients.
- IBD-HS patients had more perianal disease (59%), extraintestinal manifestations (38%), and psychiatric disorders (18%).
- HS most commonly affected axillary (57%) and genital (43%) areas.
- Patients with Crohn's disease and HS required more biological treatments (77%) and perianal surgeries (37%).
- The study suggests screening IBD patients for HS to improve management of both conditions.
