Background: There is a significant variation in the reported prevalence of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), ranging from 0.03-4%. We hypothesized that this significant variation may be due to different prevalence rates of HS according to geographical location as well as sex. Objective: We aimed to perform a meta-analysis to determine pooled overall prevalence of HS, prevalence stratified according to geographical region and sex. Materials and methods: A systematic review was performed by searching Ovid Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Library, DARE, and Embase, from inception to August 2018. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. A meta-analysis of proportions was performed to determined pooled prevalence rates, with meta-regression based on geographic region. Prevalence in males versus females was also performed according to region. Results: The overall pooled prevalence rate was 0.3% (0.2-0.6%) based on 118,760,093 HS cases available. Subgroup analysis demonstrated prevalence differences, with the highest being in Europe 0.8% (0.5-1.3%), compared to the USA 0.2% (0.1-0.4%), Asia-Pacific 0.2% (0.01-2.2%), and South America 0.2% (0.01-0.9%). Prevalence in males was lower compared to females in the USA (OR 0.403, 95% CI 0.37-0.439, P < 0.001) as well as in Europe (OR 0.635, 95% CI 0.397-1.015, P = 0.08) but not in the Asia-Pacific region (OR 0.936, 95% CI 0.319-2.751, P = 0.78). Conclusion: Prevalence of HS varies significantly according to the geographical population. This variation is likely attributed to different ethnicity distributions amongst different continents.

BackgroundDermatological diseases are among the primary causes of the demand for basic health care. Studies on the frequency of dermatoses are important for the proper management of health planning.ObjectivesTo evaluate the nosological and behavioral profiles of dermatological consultations in Brazil.MethodsThe Brazilian Society of Dermatology invited all of its members to complete an online form on patients who sought consultations from March 21-26, 2018. The form contained questions about patient demographics, consultation type according to the patient's funding, the municipality of the consultation, diagnosis, treatments and procedures. Diagnostic and therapeutic decisions were compared between subgroups.ResultsData from 9629 visits were recorded. The most frequent causes for consultation were acne (8.0%), photoaging (7.7%), nonmelanoma skin cancer (5.4%), and actinic keratosis (4.7%). The identified diseases had distinct patterns with regard to gender, skin color, geographic region, type of funding for the consultation, and age group. Concerning the medical conducts, photoprotection was indicated in 44% of consultations, surgical diagnostic procedures were performed in 7.3%, surgical therapeutic procedures were conducted in 19.2%, and cosmetic procedures were performed in 7.1%.Study limitationsNonrandomized survey, with a sample period of one week.ConclusionThis research allowed us to identify the epidemiological profiles of the demands of outpatients for dermatologists in various contexts. The results also highlight the importance of aesthetic demands in privately funded consultations and the significance of diseases such as acne, nonmelanoma skin cancer, leprosy, and psoriasis to public health.

Background: Hidradenitis is a chronic relapsing follicular occlusive disease with a widely variable reported prevalence. The exact prevalence and incidence of HS is unknown. Objectives: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the published literature to estimate the global incidence and prevalence of HS. Methods: Literature searches were performed on Medline, Embase, and Pubmed to identify studies reporting incidence and/or prevalence of HS. Pooled estimates of prevalence and incidence were calculated with a meta-analysis of proportions. Results: In total, 12 studies were included (Australia, Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, UK, USA) comprising a total population of 53,805,690. Eleven studies reported prevalence. The pooled proportion of individuals in the general population with HS was 0.36% (95% CI: 0.21, 0.56). Self-reported HS gave a higher prevalence estimate than clinician-diagnosed HS. HS is more prevalent in women. Average annual incidence of HS was 28.5 cases/100,000 (95% CI: 26.8, 30.1). Conclusions: We estimated the global prevalence of HS to be 0.36% with 3:2 female predominance and average annual incidence to be 28.5 cases/100,000
