A cross-sectional study of 100 patients referred via teleconsultation to a hospital hidradenitis suppurativa unit from May 2024 to May 2025. The dataset, authored by figshare admin karger, includes free-text referral narratives and analysis of diagnostic concordance, severity staging, and treatment proposals. It was last updated on April 15, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze diagnostic concordance between primary care and specialist assessments based on free-text teleconsultation narratives.
• Model severity staging (Hurley, IHS4) from clinical text descriptions.
• Study treatment proposal alignment and potential for under- or overtreatment based on teleconsultation data.
• Investigate terminology usage and its impact on referral quality in primary care for chronic skin diseases.

Strengths

• Includes 100 patient records with a mean age of 37.9 years and 53% women.
• Provides specific metrics on diagnostic label omission (57% of TCs), severity underestimation, and therapeutic concordance (50%).
• Analysis includes statistical measures (Cohen’s kappa, Bland–Altman plots, paired t-tests) for agreement with in-person assessment.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (304.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
