BACKGROUND While there has been an increase in the number of randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating treatment efficacy for HS, instrument measurements of disease severity and quality of life (QoL) are varied, making compilation of data and comparison between studies a challenge for clinicians. OBJECTIVE The aim of this review is to evaluate trends in disease severity scales and patient reported outcome measures used in RCTs assessing treatment interventions among HS patients. METHODS A primary systematic literature review was conducted in August 2020. PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were used to identify all articles published from January 1964 to July 2020. The study was prospectively registered with PROSPERO (ID: 209582). Twenty-five articles were included in the systematic review. RESULTS Sartorius and modified Sartorius scores (n=8), and Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical score (HiSCs) (n=8) were the most commonly used instruments for disease severity. Participants’ pain, followed by Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), were the most common QoL measures used in the reviewed studies. CONCLUSIONS Heterogeneity of data characterizing both the validity and reliability of existing outcome measures hinders interpretation and translation of the results from RCTs into clinical practice. Many of the QoL measures identified were not specific to HS and may not be representative of all factors impacting patients.

Background: The Simplified Psoriasis Index (SPI) is a summary measure of psoriasis for current severity (SPI-s), psychosocial impact (SPI-p), and past history and interventions (SPI-i). Two complementary versions are available, differing only in that current severity is either professionally (proSPI-s) or patient self-assessed (saSPI-s). They have been shown to be valid, reliable, and interpretable. Objective: The current study investigated whether the validity, reliability, and interpretability of SPI could be replicated in an independent study in a different population and setting. Methods: A validated translation of SPI into Thai was used to assess the validity and reliability of SPI for assessing psoriasis in 100 Thai patients. The interpretability of proSPI-s and saSPI-s was assessed in 289 Thai patients. Results: There were close correlations between Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and proSPI-s ( r = 0.84) and between PASI and saSPI-s ( r = 0.78). The SPI-p was closely correlated with the validated Thai version of the Dermatology Life Quality Index ( r = 0.78). Excellent intrarater (proSPI-s, saSPI-s, SPI-p, and SPI-i) reliability was demonstrated (all ICC ≥0.88). The PASI-equivalent cutoff scores for mild (PASI < 10) and severe psoriasis (PASI ≥ 20) were <9 and ≥18 for proSPI-s and <11 and ≥20 for saSPI-s. Conclusion: Our study confirms that SPI retains good validity and reliability in translation. The cutoff points we obtained were very close to those of the original study and confirmed that the originally proposed PASI-equivalent cutoff scores for mild and severe psoriasis of <9 and ≥18 for psoSPI-s and <10 and ≥20 for saSPI-s, respectively, were valid for use in a very different language and setting.

The main purpose of this study was to evaluate to what extent shock wave therapy (ESWT) can influence the quality of life of patients with scapular-humeral periarthritis (PSH). The study included 30 male and female PSH sufferers who had previously undergone various therapies without any success in disease progression. The VAS scale, the Roles-Maudsley score, and the Flanagan Life Quality Scale with seven points on the rating scale recommended by Andrews and Crandall were used to evaluate patient evolution. ESWT sessions were held on a seven-day session for 12 weeks. Between ESWT meetings each patient followed a home medical gymnastics program. Following the study, ESWT treatment had a good effect on the progression of PSH patients in terms of pain reduction and disappearance, as well as regaining mobility of the affected shoulder. The conclusion of this studio is that shock wave therapy can help improve the quality of life of PSH patients.
