PG - e15691 LID - 10.1111/dth.15691 [doi] LID - e15691 AB - Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory often recalcitrant to treatment. There is a lack of an updated systematic data review for infliximab use in HS. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of literature on infliximab in HS. This study was performed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and was pre-registered on PROSPERO (CRD42021283596). In 9/2021, MEDLINE and EMBASE were systematically searched for articles on infliximab in HS. Non-English, duplicate, and studies with <5 HS patients were excluded. Study quality was assessed utilizing Cochrane Risk of Bias for prospective trials and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for cohort studies. Random effects meta-analytical model, Cochran's Q statistic, and I squared index were performed. Nineteen articles (314 patients) met inclusion criteria (six prospective, 13 retrospective studies). All patients with HS severity data available (n = 299) had moderate-to-severe disease. Outcome measures used for meta-analysis of the pooled response rate were largely based on clinician reported outcomes (16 studies). One utilized both clinician and patient assessment. Two utilized patient-reported response alone. The pooled response rate of HS patients to infliximab was 83% (95% CI, 0.71-0.91). The most common adverse events (AEs) included non-serious infections (13.2%) and infusion reaction (2.9%). The rate of serious AEs was 2.9%. Study limitations include the small number of prospective studies and heterogeneity between studies. Overall, infliximab is an effective treatment for moderate-to-severe HS. Efficacy of infliximab in HS should be compared to other biologics in larger, randomized controlled trials. CI - (c) 2022 The Authors. Dermatologic Therapy published by Wiley Periodicals LLC.
