Hidradenitis Suppurativa Patient-Reported Outcome Measures

Key Points

The study shows content validity for 7 patient-reported outcome measures regarding hidradenitis suppurativa.
Each of these measures demonstrated internal consistency as a key measurement property.
Assessment confirmed the formative nature of instruments, which is crucial for patient feedback.
Further validation efforts are needed for HS-specific instruments to enhance their reliability and applicability.

Abstract

In this study, 7 PROMs demonstrated sufficiency of both content validity and either internal consistency or another relevant measurement property (formative instruments). Further research is needed to strengthen the validation of HS-specific instruments.
