Participants with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)
Participants who along with their treating physician have elected for treatment with Humira as per routine clinical practice for the treatment of HS
|
- Percentage of participants who reported any serious infections during the study [ Time Frame: Up to Week 52 ]Percentage of participants with incidence of serious infections are reported.
- Percentage of participants who reported any adverse drug reactions (ADRs) during the study [ Time Frame: Up to Week 52 ]ADRs will be coded by Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) dictionary.
- Percentage of participants who reported any infections during the study [ Time Frame: Up to Week 52 ]Percentage of participants with incidence of infections are reported.
- Percentage of participants achieving "Improved" of overall improvement by physician [ Time Frame: Up to Week 52 ]Percentage of participants achieving overall improvement (improved, unchanged, impossible to evaluate) is assessed by physician.
- Percentage of participants achieving Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR) [ Time Frame: Up to week 52 ]HiSCR is defined as at least 50% reduction in the number of abscesses and inflammatory nodules and no increase in abscess count and no increase in draining fistula count relative to baseline.
- Change in C-Reactive Protein (CRP) [ Time Frame: From Baseline to Week 52 ]CRP values are measured as an inflammatory parameter. Low CRP values mean less inflammation.
- Change in Patient's global assessment of skin pain [ Time Frame: From Baseline to Week 52 ]Patient's global assessment of skin pain is evaluated on a 11-point scale with 0 for "no pain" and 10 for "worst skin pain imaginable."
- Change in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) [ Time Frame: From Baseline to Week 52 ]DLQI is a 10-question validated dermatologic disease questionnaire to measure quality of life.
