About the FAI2R/CLIPS Grant
The Still's disease is a rare condition, and treatment strategies are typically based on national recommendations outlined in the National Diagnosis and Care Protocols (PNDS). Despite the availability of PNDS since 2017, there has been no assessment of its real-world implementation, leading to potential variations in prescribed therapeutic strategies. This national project named JIR CliPS, embedded in an international initiative funded by COST, aims to evaluate the clinical practical strategies (CliPS) used in real-life scenarios, providing a comparative analysis with existing national recommendations and shedding light on the global landscape of care practices for inflammatory diseases, including Still's disease.
The international project progresses through three phases: questionnaire development, distribution to relevant physicians, and data analysis to document real-world therapeutic plans worldwide. While international data analysis is ongoing, this initial analysis focuses on 750 responses from physicians in 44 countries, including 60 from France. The recruitment of additional participants is ongoing to gather more data from France and worldwide.
The project aims to conduct a sub-analysis of national data, comparing it to French recommendations in the PNDS for Still's disease in both children and adults. Following the methodology established in the JIR CliPS project, a young French physician, supported by the CLiPS team, will lead the analysis with the goal of publishing a scientific article in an international peer-reviewed journal.
Activities in a nutshell
