When to Use

Quantifying the dynamic severity of Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) at baseline and during follow-up.

Evaluating clinical response to systemic or biologic therapies.

Superior to Hurley staging for monitoring continuous treatment response, as Hurley is static and largely defined by irreversible scarring.

Related Scores in Practice

In clinical practice, this assessment is frequently evaluated alongside other validated measures. Depending on the patient's presentation and specific diagnostic requirements, you may also need to utilize the HiSCR or the DLQI to formulate a comprehensive care plan.
