While age- and sex-specific prevalence of HS is well documented in literature, few studies have explored trends in racial predilections for HS. The objective of this study is to investigate the race-specific prevalence of HS. MEDLINE and EMBASE searches were conducted in the OVID database. Keywords included variations of \u201crace,\u201d \u201cethnicity,\u201d \u201ccountry,\u201d \u201cprevalence,\u201d and \u201cHidradenitis suppurativa.\u201d Studies were included if they were written in English or French, conducted on human participants, and had data on HS and race-specific prevalence. Meta-analyses, systematic and literature reviews, and irrelevant articles were excluded. Thirty-nine out of 184 articles met the inclusion criteria after abstract and full-text screening. Population distribution was scaled according to country-specific demographics reports. These demographic reports were extracted from each country\u2019s national statistics report. The average HS prevalence rates were highest in African American populations (1.3%), lowest in Hispanics\/Latinos (0.07%), and intermediate amongst Caucasian populations (0.75%). Total prevalence in all other ethnic groups (0.17%) was minor in comparison to African American and Caucasian populations. Since the highest rates of HS were found among African American population, literature has highlighted the possibility of a genetic etiology in HS development. However, further literature examining race-specific prevalence of HS internationally is required to accurately assess the frequency and underlying etiology of HS among varying racial populations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1203475420972348","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,11]],"date-time":"2020-11-11T08:03:10Z","timestamp":1605081790000},"page":"177-187","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":70,"title":["Race-Specific Prevalence of Hidradenitis Suppurativa"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2252-5663","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muskaan","family":"Sachdeva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2024-3064","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monica","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1171-4917","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Afsaneh","family":"Alavi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Dermatology, Department of Medicine, Women\u2019s College Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1203475420972348","unstructured":"Hidradenitis Suppurativa.
