Abstract

The AEDV CUDERMA project aims to certify dermatology units to standardize clinical practice and ensure quality of care. In line with previous initiatives in psoriasis and dermato-oncology, this study aimed to reach consensus on the aspects to be assessed through quality indicators for the certification of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) units.
A literature review and a focus group involving dermatologists specializing in the management of patients with HS were conducted to develop a preliminary set of quality indicators, which were subsequently reviewed by a multidisciplinary group of experts. The relevance of these preliminary indicators was then evaluated by a Delphi panel comprising 43 members of the Spanish Hidradenitis Suppurativa Working Group.
The Delphi panel reached consensus on the inclusion of 52 quality indicators.
These indicators will subsequently be standardized for the development of the certification standard for HS units.
