ABSTRACT
Depression is frequent in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa. However, its relationship with quality of life and clinical severity needs further investigation. In this cross-sectional study, 341 adult, consecutive patients with hidradenitis suppurativa completed the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), which has been shown to be able to identify cases of major depressive disorder in dermatological patients. The frequency of depression in hidradenitis suppurativa patients was 29.0%. In patients with depression, severity (International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System (IHS4)), quality of life (Skindex-17; Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)), and health status (36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)) were significantly worse compared with patients with no depression. The highest linear correlation was observed between GHQ-12 and the psychosocial scale of the Skindex-17 and the SF-36 mental scale. In contrast, correlation between GHQ-12 and clinical severity was poor. Depression is an important comorbidity in hidradenitis suppurativa, which is strongly associated with impairment in quality of life, but not linearly correlated with clinical severity.
