BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic and painful condition with negative impact on daily activity. Little information on the impact of disease-specific factors on educational level and occupational status in hidradenitis suppurativa patients has been reported. We sought to identify how disease-specific factors could influence occupational status and educational level in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa. METHODS: Cross-sectional study of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa seen between September 2017 and September 2018. Disease-specific variables were analyzed to find associations in patients with different educational levels and occupational status. RESULTS: Ninety-eight patients were included. Patients with non-university studies had more frequently≥3 affected areas (22.5% [16/73] vs 4.8% [1/22], p=0.049), a higher number of painful days (8.5 [SD 8.8] vs 4.6 [SD 4.8], p=0.048) and a higher score on the VAS scale (6.7 [SD 2.8] vs 5.0 [3.3], p=0.031). Patients from the inactive group had a significantly increased number of painful days (11.2 [SD 10.4] vs 5.7 [SD 6.2], p=0.004). This group had a greater number of patients with a history of depression (61.3% [19/31] vs 27.4% [17/62], p=0.002) and a higher mean BMI (32.3 [9.1] vs 28.4 [6.4], p=0.016). Late disease onset was significantly associated with being "inactive" (26.7% [8/31] vs 6.5% [4/62], p=0.026). No significant differences between severity scales of hidradenitis suppurativa and educational level or occupational status were found. LIMITATIONS: cross-sectional and single center study. CONCLUSIONS: Pain, ≥3 affected areas, history of depression, higher mean BMI, and late onset of hidradenitis suppurativa, are associated with low education level and inactive occupational status.
