Objective: To optimise the organisation of care and encourage the adoption of good clinical practices, the RarERN Path methodology was designed within ERN ReCONNET. The aim of our work was to report the application of RarERN Path on systemic sclerosis within the ERN ReCONNET centres, providing a feasible and flexible organisational reference model for optimising the systemic sclerosis care pathway in different countries.

Methods: RarERN Path is a six-phase methodology which enables the creation of a reference organisational model co-designed on the basis of the expertise of different stakeholders.

Introduction: Evidence from randomised controlled trials on anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) agents in patients with Behçet's syndrome (BS) is low.

Method: We conducted a phase 3, multicentre, prospective, randomised, active-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of either infliximab (IFX) or adalimumab (ADA) in patients with BS. Adults patients with BS presenting with active mucocutaneous manifestations, occurring while on therapy with either azathioprine or cyclosporine for at least 3 months prior to study entry, were eligible.

Article Synopsis
  • - Behçet's syndrome (BS) is a rare, chronic inflammatory disorder mostly affecting adults in their 30s and 40s, but young patients can also experience it, requiring ongoing medical attention as they grow.
  • - Transitional care programs are designed to support young patients with chronic conditions like BS, helping them gain independence and self-management skills for their health.
  • - There is a lack of established guidelines on the timing and effectiveness of these transition plans for BS patients, but tailored approaches could enhance care continuity and improve quality of life for young patients.
