Chronic Inflammatory Disease

Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) most often affect young patients and have high impact on morbidity and mortality with a significant alteration in the quality of life of patients with professional, social and emotional repercussions. Beyond this burden, IMIDs share many common pathophysiological mechanisms and treatments, known as "targeted therapies". Despite progress in this field, much remains to be done in clinical, therapeutic and fundamental research to address the efficacy, resistance and side-effects of treatment. These similarities between IMIDs have led the FHU IMMINeNT to propose the creation of a prospective, multidisciplinary clinical-biological database (IMMINeNT cohort), associated to a biobank, of patients with IMIDs. The main objectives of this database will be to identify new prognostic and therapeutic biomarkers in order to develop new therapeutic targets and biomarkers, to identify prognostic factors and determinants related to the activity, severity and quality of life of patients with IMIDs as well as to the response and tolerance to treatment.

Patient therapeutic education programs have been shown to be effective in many specialties, allowing "Improving biological and psychological parameters, allowing patients to improve their health knowledge, therapeutic adherence and sense of personal effectiveness." Several studies have shown that patient knowledge, adherence and satisfaction are better after attending a therapeutic education program. This multidisciplinary program is presented and offered to all patients with chronic disease treated by subcutaneous biotherapy, followed by dermatologists, rheumatologists and gastroenterologists of the Lorient hospital. The study aims to demonstrate the benefit of the Patient Therapeutic Education program at GHBS Lorient "living with a chronic inflammatory disease under biotherapy" on treatment adherence, as well as the positive impact on quality of life.
