DLQI, Dermatology Life Quality Index; BMI, Body mass index; IHS4, International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System; FDLQI, Familiar Dermatology Life Quality Index; DS14, Type D personality scale; NA, Negative affectivity; SI, Social inhibition; HADS, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; IIEF-5, International Index of Erectile Function; FSFI-6, Female Sexual Function Index. Simple linear regression was used for comparisons between DLQI and continuous variables: data are expressed as beta coefficient (standard deviation). For comparisons between DLQI and qualitative variables, the analysis of variance ANOVA was used: data are expressed as mean (standard deviation). p < 0.0021 were considered statistically significant and are highlighted in bold. p with a tendency for significance are highlighted with *.
