Official title
Medical Follow-up of New Cases of Polyarthritis in Children and Young Adults. Optimization of Clinical Response, Remission, Quality of Life and Analysis of Prognostic Markers
About this study
This study is proposed by the Rheumatology and Pediatrics departments of the 3 French-speaking Universities.
The first objective will be to include a progressive number of new young patients (≤ 50 years) in order to optimize and standardize care and clinical response objectives. The number of 25% of new incident cases will be sought with an increase of 20% each year during the 5 to 10 years of this project.
Population: JIA, RA/UA, SLE, dSS (American Congres of Rheumatology criteria). Naïve to basic treatment OR treated for ≤ 3 months; except for patients with JIA.
These 5 cohorts will be subject to standardized clinical monitoring and specific objectives that will make it possible to analyze the number of patients with a good control of the disease and/or a clinical remission, defined according to the international criteria.
