| Abstract |
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of follicular occlusion characterized by abscesses, draining sinuses, and scarring. The efficacy and tolerability of combination treatment with oral clindamycin and rifampicin have previously been assessed in 4 studies including groups of Caucasian patients. Overall results are promising with reported improvement rates between 71.4% and 85.7%. In this study, we propose that combination therapy is safe and efficacious in the treatment of HS, not only among Caucasians, but also in a group of Asian patients in Singapore. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 April 2022.
All research outputs
#4,574,148
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology
#270
of 905 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#91,687
of 449,550 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology
#6
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 81st percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 905 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 23.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 449,550 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its contemporaries.
