Understanding Autoimmune Diseases and their Impact
Autoimmune diseases (AD) encompass a diverse range of over 70 inflammatory disorders that affect 3% to 8% of the US population. Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and psoriasis fall under this category, impacting approximately 14 to 23 million individuals. These conditions often lead to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety due to the prolonged illness, pain, and sleep disturbances that patients experience.
The Need for Comprehensive Data Analysis
By analyzing data from cohorts of patients with autoimmune diseases, researchers can gain crucial insights into various aspects of patients' lives. This analysis enables the development of tailored interventions to enhance patients' physical, psychological, and social well-being. Taking a holistic approach to care can lead to improved patient outcomes, increased quality of life, and a deeper understanding of the factors that influence the management of immunology diseases.
