Study Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of this research is to collect data to create an observatory of microcrystalline rheumatism (gout and calcium-crystal rheumatism) in patients treated at the Groupement des Hôpitaux de l'Institut Catholique de Lille, in order to better understand the disease and improve patient care, in particular with the help of medical imaging.
Detailed Description
All patients already included in another observational study set up in 2016 and meeting the eligibility criteria may be included in this study. An information letter will be sent to them by mail. If they wish to oppose to the use of their data, they can then return the objection form.
This sample will be supplemented by new patients who are recruited during a classic rheumatology consultation. The investigator will propose the study to all patients meeting the inclusion and non-inclusion criteria.
They will be informed of the objectives of the study and their rights. For patients who agree to participate in the study, sociodemographic and clinical characteristics will be collected.
Depending on the usual care, they will benefit from an ultrasound and/or a dual energy scanner (M0). Imaging data will be collected. Routine clinical follow-up is then carried out in consultation, with collection of clinical and biological evolution data, and morphological data if necessary if imaging is rechecked, until the patient is lost to follow-up or the follow-up is interrupted at the GHICL for any reason.
Available quarterly or semi-annual data will be collected.
