Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory condition associated with numerous comorbidities, but there has been no broad-spectrum investigation into the dermatologic comorbidities associated with HS using nationally representative data. Therefore, we analyzed the 2016-2018 National Inpatient Sample for adult patients with and without HS and used multivariable logistic regression to determine correlations between HS and 25 dermatologic conditions, adjusting for age, race, sex, and insurance type. As seen previously, HS is more likely to affect females and Black patients. The prevalence of having any of the 25 dermatological conditions was higher in patients with HS than without (24.60% vs 5.30%, P<0.001) and HS was specifically associated with 18 of the 25 dermatological conditions. This research confirms anecdotal disease relationships and identifies novel correlations between HS and dermatologic conditions using a national patient population.
