Abstract
Background
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with cardiometabolic comorbidities and increased cardiovascular risk.
Methods
This retrospective case–control study evaluated serum lipid parameters and atherogenic indices—including the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), Castelli risk index I (CRI-I), Castelli risk index II (CRI-II), and the atherogenic coefficient (AC)—in 176 patients with HS compared with 132 controls frequency-matched for age and sex and examined their associations with BMI and Hurley stage using multiple linear regression models.
