N2 - BACKGROUND: Surgery is considered to be the best treatment for recurrent hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Although it is necessary to assess the effect on health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are scarce and heterogeneously used in the literature about the surgical treatment of HS. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to provide a review of the complete literature for different PROMs used in the surgical treatment of HS and to assess their methodological qualities. METHODS: A systematic literature search of PubMed, Medline, Cochrane, CINAHL, and Embase with an assessment following the COnsensus-based standards for the Selection of health status Measurement INstrument criteria. RESULTS: The search identified 218 articles, with the inclusion of 6 studies for analysis. Identified PROMs were as follows: the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), the Derriford Appearance Scale-24 (DAS-24), and the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI). These non-disease-specific PROMs seem to have poor results concerning development and content validation. CONCLUSION: The DLQI, WPAI, and DAS-24 are generic PROMs with poor methodological qualities for PROM development and content validation. Hidradenitis suppurativa-specific instruments are not used in available studies because they have been developed recently and, therefore, partially validated. More research is needed to further investigate methodological qualities of HS-specific instruments.
