Maternal hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is linked to adverse birth outcomes and childhood morbidities, including respiratory, metabolic, central nervous system conditions. A study found that children born to mothers with HS had an increased risk of preterm birth, neonatal death, birth defects, congenital heart defects, and orofacial defects. These children were also more likely to experience childhood hospitalizations for respiratory, metabolic, gastrointestinal, and developmental issues. The study, based on data from over 1.2 million children in Quebec, suggested that maternal HS has significant implications for both infant outcomes and long-term health of offspring. The research won second place in a poster competition at the AAD meeting.
