Abstract
|
|
|
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammator y disorder characterized by chronic deep- seated nodules, abscesses, fistulae, sinus tracts, and scars in apocrine gland-bearing regions.
Assessing its severity is challenging because of its clinical heterogeneity, lack of a standardized tool, and increasing severity scores. This article provides a chronological over view of HS grading scales to aid in the understanding and comparison of different scoring systems.
A literature review of articles published in English on PubMed was conducted searched from 1989 to 2023. The review includes 15 scores that are the most relevant and widely used and acknowledges the existence of over 30 scoring systems for HS. The expanding landscape of HS scoring systems presents challenges when patients evaluated using different systems are compared. A universally accepted scoring system is required for consistent application across diverse populations. A comprehensive assessment should balance subjective and objective items, considering obser ver-reported signs and patient-reported symptoms to make meaningful treatment decisions.
