Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic disease that causes painful, swollen, fluid and pus‐filled lumps on the skin. Hidradenitis affects between 0.3 to 4.0% of the population worldwide. The researchers of this study are based in U.S.A. They aimed to find out if hidradenitis is linked with higher likelihood and costs of mental health disorders. They examined the National Inpatient Sample, a nationwide database of hospitalizations in the U.S.A., between the years 2002 to 2012. They performed statistical analyses to explore the relationship between hidradenitis and mental health disorders.
