Abstract

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the hair follicles. The aim of this case-control study was to assess whether HS is associated with disturbances in trabecular bone score, bone mineral density, bone remodelling markers, and calciotropic hormones. A total of 81 patients and 79 controls of similar age and sex were included. Demographic, anthropometric, laboratory data, trabecular bone score, bone mineral density, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD), serum amino-terminal pro-peptide of type 1 collagen (PINP), and C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) concentrations were assessed in both groups. Patients with HS had lower serum 25OHD levels than controls, and approximately 62% of them had vitamin D deficiency. Serum PINP was increased and CTX was decreased in patients with HS. Fully adjusted trabecular bone score values were lower in patients with HS compared with controls. Adjusted lumbar bone mineral density was similar in HS and controls, whilst total hip bone mineral density was lower in patients with HS. There were no statistical differences regarding disease severity in terms of 25OHD, serum turnover markers, bone mineral density, or trabecular bone score values. This study shows that patients with HS have lower trabecular bone score and total hip bone mineral density values than population-based controls. In addition, the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is high in subjects with HS.
