Hidradenitis Suppurativa

The treatment effect will be assessed by reduction of HS activity, measured by the IHS4 score at the final follow-up 6 months post-baseline, as the difference between the IHS4 score at baseline (IHS40) and at the six-month follow-up (IHS46). Measurement IHS42 – IHS40= treatment effect. Justification for the use of IHS4…

Main objective

Scope: Therapy

The treatment effect will be assessed by reduction of HS activity, measured by the IHS4 score at the final follow-up 6 months post-baseline, as the difference between the IHS4 score at baseline (IHS40) and at the six-month follow-up (IHS46). Measurement IHS42 – IHS40= treatment effect.
Justification for the use of IHS4: “The IHS4 score is a recognized study scoring system for the treatment effect of HS treatment. It is routinely used for larger HS studies (21,29,30) “
1. The primary objective: IHS4 score:
Mild HS: ≤3 points
Moderate HS: 4-10 points
Severe HS: ≥11 points

Secondary objectives 1

  1. Assessed via questionnaires at baseline t=0 months, at the 3-month treatment t=3 months, and lastly at the three-month follow-up t=6 months. 1. Number of inflammatory nodules, non-inflammatory nodules, and draining tunnels. 2. Treatment satisfaction NRS is patient-reported from a scale NRS 0-10 0= not satisfied, 10= very satisfied. 3. HiSCR50 achieved or not achieved. 4. HiSQOL score 0-60. Each question is scored using an ordinal scale, ranging from 0-4. 0= no impact on the quality of life at all 4= extreme effect on the quality of life Some questions have a response option of ‘unable to do, due to HS’ that is scored 4. 5. Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score 0-30. 0-1 no effect at all on patient's life. 2- 5 small effect on patient's life. 6-10 moderate effect on patient's life. 11- 20 very large effect on patient's life. 21- 30 extremely large effect on patient's life. The MCID for DLQI is defined as a ≥4-unit decrease. 6. Pain: change in NRS score 0-10 at t=0 months, t=3 months and t= 6 months 0= no pain 10 = worst possible pain MCID for pain is considered to be ≥30% and ≥1 point reduction from baseline (maximum 10). 7. Suppuration: change in NRS score 0-10 at t=0 months, t=3 months and t= 6 months 0= no suppuration 10= constant suppuration 8. Pruritus (itch): change in NRS score 0-10 at t=0 months, t=3 months and t= 6 months 0= no itching 10= worst possible itch MCID for pruritis is considered to be ≥30% and ≥1 point reduction from baseline (maximum 10) 9. Patient reported disease severity NRS 0-10 0= no disease 10= worst imaginable disease 10. Would you recommend the procedure to other patients in your situation? (Yes/No)
