  3. Introduction What’s already known? • Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is relatively common • Higher risks of cardiovascular (CV) disease and depression • Management includes medical & surgical interventions • Until now, there were no UK guidelines for HS care

  4. Methods • British Association of Dermatologists commissioned a HS guideline development group • Membership: Information scientists, a HS patient and carer, UK clinicians including dermatologists, a dermatology nurse, plastic surgeon and GP • Systematic review performed • Evidence converted to recommendations using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system

  5. Results

  6. Initial management (primary and secondary care) • Patient information leaflet • Record baseline disease severity • Measure pain and treat if needed • Provide wound dressings if required • Screen for CV disease risk factors & depression/anxiety • Offer smoking cessation and/or weight management referral if relevant • Oral tetracycline therapy (lymecycline/ doxycycline)

  7. After tetracyclines

  8. Audit criteria • Patient information leaflet • Smoking & weight management referrals, where relevant • Screening for co-morbidities (depression, CV risk) • Documented baseline disease stage & ongoing severity • Pre-operative discussion for those undergoing surgery • Adherence to NICE Adalimumab criteria
