Prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa in the Veterans Affairs Health Care System
Our study investigated the relationship between abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in patients within the Veterans Affair Health Care System. Overall, we found that patients with HS had a higher prevalence of AAA than those without HS. Further research should consider clinical outcomes such as AAA rupture and associated mortality.
