To assess the prevalence of joint pain in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa and its impact on quality of life.
Retrospective cohort study design

Evaluated joint pain prevalence and arthritis diagnosis
Analyzed Dermatology Life Quality Index scores
37% of hidradenitis suppurativa patients reported joint pain
Only 25% of those with joint pain were diagnosed with arthritis
No difference in joint pain prevalence based on HS disease severity
Joint pain was linked to worse quality of life scores.

Abstract

Presence of joint pain did not differ based on HS disease severity. Patients who reported joint pain had worse Dermatology Life Quality Index scores.
