The eSAHS Score is the electronic version of the Severity Assessment of Hidradenitis Suppurativa score, which was developed in 2018 by Hessam et al. to assess the severity of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), also known as acne inversa. Compared to previous assessment systems, the SAHS score offers important advantages: firstly, it eliminates the need to differentiate between inflammatory lesions, making it easier to count lesions in everyday clinical practice and consequently saving time. Secondly, individual patient data, more precisely the intensity of pain and the number of flare-ups in the last 4 weeks, are taken into account. Due to its dynamic character, the SAHS score not only helps to classify the severity of HS, but also to monitor the course of therapy. In addition to its use in clinical routine, the score is therefore also of interest in the context of research.
