Overview

Population

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and seronegative / psoriatic / undifferentiated arthritis (UA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or diffuse systemic sclerosis dSS).

Naïve to basic treatment OR treated for ≤ 3 months; except for patients with JIA.

These 5 cohorts will be subject to standardized clinical monitoring.

Description

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.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and seronegative / psoriatic / undifferentiated arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus or diffuse systemic sclerosis (ACR criteria).
  • Naïve to basic treatment OR treated for ≤ 3 months; except for patients with JIA.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Treated for > 3 months
  • > 50 years old
