Popis: Abstract Introducion The concept of a window of opportunity in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) management suggests that early initiation of biological therapy leads to better outcomes, though its timing remains uncertain. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational multicenter study, including consecutive patients with moderate to severe HS who initiated secukinumab treatment following prior failure with systemic antibiotics or adalimumab. Therapeutic burden was defined as the sum of previous systemic treatment cycles and previous major surgical interventions for HS. Patients were followed up for 24 weeks. Main outcomes were safety and effectiveness, assessed through the proportion of patients achieving HS Clinical Response (HiSCR) and a 55% reduction in International HS Severity Score System (IHS4-55). Additionally, potential predictors of response to secukinumab were studied. Analysis was performed on an intention-to-treat basis. Results A total of 67 patients (33 men, 34 women) were included, with a mean age of 41.55 (11.94) years and a mean baseline IHS4 of 17.88 (11.13). The mean therapeutic burden was 6.06 (3.49). At week 24, 10.45% (7/67) of patients experienced adverse events, with three leading to treatment discontinuation. At week 24, 41.79% (28/67) of patients achieved HiSCR, and 44.78% (30/67) of patients achieved IHS4-55. HiSCR could not be calculated in 12 patients with a baseline AN count
