Teleconsultation (TC) between primary care (PC) and dermatology can expedite referrals. We aimed to (1) assess PC recognition of HS using TC free-text terminology and its impact and (2) determine concordance between TC and in-person evaluation in staging (Hurley, International HS Severity Score System [IHS4]) and treatment. Methods: Cross-sectional study of patients referred via TC to a hospital HS unit (May 2024\u2013May 2025). A blinded HS expert reviewed narratives, assigned Hurley stage, calculated IHS4, and proposed graded treatment (topical, oral antibiotic, biologic). Agreement with in-person assessment (examination \u00b1 ultrasound [US]) was analyzed using weighted Cohen\u2019s kappa (\u03ba), Bland-Altman plots, and paired t tests. Results: One hundred patients were included (mean age 37.9 \u00b1 14.4 years; 53% women). \u201cHidradenitis suppurativa\u201d appeared in 57% of TCs; omission correlated with inflammatory nodules, Hurley I, and atypical or inguinogenital phenotypes. TC underestimated severity: 57% (25\/44) of in-person Hurley II were graded as Hurley I in TC; mean TC-IHS4 was lower than in-person IHS4 (3.9 vs. 6.4; mean difference +2.5; p &lt; 0.001). TC-based treatment matched in 50%, was more intensive in 27%, and less intensive in 23%. Conclusion: Half of PC referrals omit the HS label, in mild or atypical forms. TC tends to underestimate severity and yields 50% therapeutic concordance, risking under- or overtreatment. Strengthening PC education and combining TC with physical examination and US may improve HS care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000551423","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,18]],"date-time":"2026-04-18T16:00:36Z","timestamp":1776528036000},"page":"383-390","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Primary Care Teleconsultations in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Characteristics and Clinical Decision-Making"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"242","author":[{"given":"Julia","family":"Castro Mart\u00edn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea Isabel","family":"Rodr\u00edguez-Sanna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1800-2170","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Clara","family":"Ure\u00f1a-Paniego","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5040-8483","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alberto","family":"Soto-Moreno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Juan","family":"Jim\u00e9nez Mole\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Salvador","family":"Arias-Santiago","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6882-2113","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alejandro","family":"Molina-Leyva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2019.08.090"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14041110"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2025.06.014"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/CCID.S301794"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18136709"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.19546"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17238808"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2019.11.068"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.16677"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2133.2001.04124.x"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/jtt.2008.080901"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ced.13928"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.2011.10509.x"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rce.2020.06.002"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11144181"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ad.2023.10.003"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ijd.17861"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.16183"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.16435"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clindermatol.2025.05.015"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.14885"},{"key":"ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ad.2023.11.012"},{"key":"ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/12034754231223451"},{"key":"ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3399\/BJGPO.2025.0060"},{"key":"ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/43910"}],"container-title":["Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article-pdf\/doi\/10.1159\/000551423","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,22]],"date-time":"2026-07-22T16:01:02Z","timestamp":1784736062000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000551423"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,18]]},"references-count":25,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,22]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,5]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000551423","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{"is-supplemented-by":[{"id-type":"doi","id":"10.6084\/m9.figshare.32019858","asserted-by":"subject"}]},"ISSN":["1018-8665","1421-9832"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1018-8665","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9832","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,18]]}}}
