Abstract
We propose hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is added to the list of weight-related comorbidities in the new National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guideline on obesity. Effective obesity management in patients with HS could help reduce disease severity, pain and cardiovascular risk, and improve quality of life and the efficacy of biologic therapy. In addition, it could reduce the costs of HS-associated care (GP visits, hospital outpatient attendances, biologic drugs, inpatient admissions, elective and emergency surgery).
