Annotation

This project focuses on detecting the coexistence of rheumatic and psychiatric diseases. The study uses data from national health registers, a specialized register of patients with rheumatic diseases, and from our own clinical data collection. The results of the study will expand knowledge about the relationship between rheumatic and psychiatric diseases, provide epidemiological evidence of the co-occurrence of these diseases, and investigate the economic costs of caring for patients with such co-occurrence.
