The prevalence of HS is underreported worldwide; moreover, the epidemiological studies about HS in Saudi Arabia are scarce. Therefore, this study was performed to explore the prevalence in Saudi Arabia. Methods: This study was a part of the Global Hidradenitis Suppurativa Atlas (GHiSA) initiative. This study was a single-center study in tertiary care center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. All relevant data were collected after obtaining a written informed consent, and data were analyzed accordingly. The study was conducted between March and May 2023. The participants were healthy adults accompanying a child or adult in internal medicine or pediatrics outpatient clinics. The diagnosis was done clinically by an expert physician. Results: In total, 688 individuals were included; the estimated prevalence of HS is a minimum of 4.07% within the sample. The utilized questionnaire has a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 15%. Conclusion: The high prevalence of HS in Saudi population necessitates more education to the community and health care providers for early diagnosis and management. &lt;\/p&gt;<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000538727","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,7]],"date-time":"2025-07-07T12:02:52Z","timestamp":1751889772000},"page":"112-116","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Prevalence of Hidradenitis Suppurativa in Saudi Arabia"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"241","author":[{"given":"Yousef","family":"Binamer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ola","family":"Samman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anwar","family":"Aldabagh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jwana","family":"Boushi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8969-7144","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dorra","family":"Bouazzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cecilia E.","family":"Medianfar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robin","family":"Christensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0712-2540","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gregor B.E.","family":"Jemec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00403-022-02374-8"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jid.2017.09.008"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7759\/cureus.23029"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5826\/dpc.1302a76"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0255560"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000536389"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/healthcare11121737"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bjd.19713"}],"container-title":["Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article-pdf\/doi\/10.1159\/000538727","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,16]],"date-time":"2025-10-16T16:01:24Z","timestamp":1760630484000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000538727"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,7]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"Suppl. 1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,16]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000538727","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1018-8665","1421-9832"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1018-8665","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9832","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,7]]}}}
