Real-world adalimumab survival and discontinuation factors in hidradenitis suppurativa. J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol 2024.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Survival analyses can provide valuable insights into effectiveness and safety as perceived by prescribers. Here, we aimed to evaluate adalimumab (ADA) survival and the interruption risk factors in a multicentre cohort of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Moreover, we performed a subanalysis considering the periods before and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study including 539 adult patients with HS who received ADA from 1 May 2015 to 31 December 2022. Overall drug survival was analysed using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and compared between the subgroups via stratified log-rank test. Possible predictors for overall drug survival and reasons for discontinuation were assessed using univariate and multivariate Cox regression. RESULTS Overall, 50.1% were females with a mean age of 43.5 ± 1 years and a mean BMI of 29.5 ± 6.7. At the start of ADA, 95.29% were biologic-naïve and 24.63% had undergone surgical treatment. During follow-up, 9.46% of patients required dose escalation, while 39.92% interrupted ADA. Concomitant therapy was used in 64.89% of cases. A subanalyses comparing pre- and post-pandemic periods revealed a tendency to initiate ADA treatment at a younger age, among patient with higher BMI and at a lower HS stage after COVID-19 pandemic. Interestingly, ADA demonstrated extended survival compared to previous studies, with a median overall drug survival of 56.2 months (95% CI 51.2 to 80.3). The primary causes for discontinuation were inefficacy (51.69%), followed by adverse effects (21.35%). Female sex, longer delay in HS diagnosis, higher baseline IHS4 score and concomitant spondyloarthritis were associated with poorer ADA survival or increased risk of discontinuation. CONCLUSIONS ADA demonstrated prolonged survival (median 56.2 months). While addition of antibiotics did not have a positive effect on survival rate, basal IHS4 proved useful in predicting ADA survival.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic created a new set of challenges regarding the care of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Access to safe, timely medical care and the use of immunosuppressive therapy were central topics of concern for patients and providers. In addition, the incidence and severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with HS were critical to examine during the evolving pandemic and to provide recommendations for patients for makinginformed decisions about their disease and its management. Another consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic was the role of the internet to connect individuals with HS with each other and experts in the field. This is a unique contribution that collectively examines the perspectives of HS medical care and support during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a global public health emergency, has changed dermatology practice and daily routine in just under two years. Much has been written in the literature about COVID-19-associated skin manifestations. Nevertheless, much less has been written regarding skin manifestations in patients affected by severe immune-mediated skin diseases, e.g., psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa, undergoing biological treatment during the COVID-19 outbreak. Thus, the aim of this article is to provide the reader with an overview of the cutaneous manifestations during the COVID-19 pandemic in this subset of patients.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has radical repercussions on every aspect of medical science, including dermatology. The magnitude of the impact on clinical dermatology cannot be overemphasized. Dermatologists have been forced to modify and reconsider the way they consult patients. Teledermatology has come up in a big way, with most of the clinicians resorting to technology and software-based consultations. Management of different dermatological conditions like papulosquamous disorders, vesiculobullous disorders, malignancies, etc., needs to be modified as per the different recommendations proposed by expert panels. This review is an attempt to highlight the impact of this destructive pandemic on various aspects of clinical dermatology.
