WHAT ARE AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES?
10
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES ARE THE RESULT OF A MISDIRECTED IMMUNE SYSTEM THAT CAUSES ONE’S OWN IMMUNE SYSTEM TO ATTACK THE SELF
11
AUTOIMMUNITY AT A GLANCE
Over 100 diseases Affecting 50 million
Americans Costing over $120 billion
annually 250,000 new diagnoses
each year A major cause of death in
women
Women75%
Men25%

AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE CAN AFFECT ANY PART OF THE BODY

RESPONSES REFLECT SOME IMPROVEMENTS, BUT A STRONG NEED FOR CONTINUED ADVOCACY
“I believe the ACA is a step in the right direction. Improvements are necessary, for instance out of network options.”
“I love ACA. I am now getting the help and medications I needed, plus test confirms ... not [rheumatoid arthritis] as first suspected ... [mixed connective tissue disease].”
“[M]y employer had to change or insurance provider. Now I pay higher premiums, higher copays, and three of my specialists are no longer on our new plan.”
“I was adversely affected when my former employer switched to a high deductible [health plan] when anticipating the premium jump ACA would cause.”

Why so Long and Difficult to Get a Correct Diagnosis?
Physician Education was identified as a contributing
factor.

AARDA CONDUCTED A SURVEY OF PHYSICIANS
AARDA participated in an educational workshop attended by 130 family physicians.
Participants were asked to participate in a survey on the extent of their knowledge of autoimmune diseases.
The survey results prompted a larger ongoing study.

STRATEGIC GOAL
AARDA is conducting a larger study to determine: Level of physician education Physicians’ preferred way of continuing education
With the goal of developing A syllabus for medical school A Continuing Medical Education program for autoimmune diseases
45
PUBLIC AWARENESS ALSO CONTRIBUTES TO THE PROBLEM
Awareness Study GFK randomly surveyed 1000 Americans Study is conducted every five to seven Years to measure progress

NEED FOR A MULTIPLE SPECIALIST CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR DIAGNOSING AND TREATING AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES

IMPROVED AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE DIAGNOSIS REQUIRES
Increased Physician education
Increased Public Awareness
Autoimmune Disease Multi-Specialist Center

RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Fewer chronic disabilities
Less human suffering
Dramatic reduction in AD healthcare costs

THANK YOU!

THE AUTOIMMUNE
DISEASE REGISTRY
53
IN THE US TODAY, THERE ARE 13,027,914 INDIVIDUALS WITH CANCER
HOW MANY HAVE AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE?
9 MILLION? 23 MILLION? 50 MILLION?
54
WHAT IS GOAL OF THE AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE REGISTRY?
A system that can count every patient suffering from an autoimmune disease.
It will encompass data already collected by individual disease registries, but it will not supplant those registries
It will be used for:Research - for cohort discovery and some population
researchPublic health reporting
It will not be used for:FundraisingPatient treatment
It will be the SEER system for Autoimmune Disease
55
WHAT DO SEER & NAACCR DO FOR CANCER? Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER)
The premier source for cancer statistics in the United States; Provides information on cancer statistics in an effort to reduce the
burden of cancer among the U.S. population. The North American Association of Central Cancer Registries
A professional organization that develops and promotes uniform data standards for cancer registration
Provides education and training; Certifies population-based registries; Aggregates and publishes data from central cancer registries; Promotes the use of cancer surveillance data and systems for
cancer control and epidemiologic research, public health programs, and patient care to reduce the burden of cancer in North America.

THE ADR CAN ACCOMPLISH THE FOLLOWING
Provide a central resource for recruitment of patients for clinical trials;
Provide statistics on the burden of AD on public health; Provide statistics on multiple-disease sufferers; Provide consolidated statistics that can transform the
image of AD as a large number of unrelated and mostly rare diseases to something similar to Cancer – a single disease with a variety of sometimes common, sometimes rare manifestations.
67
PROPOSED MILESTONES
Short Term Take results from the current survey and put them into a database for ad hoc
query by NCAPG members; Establish data standards for AD similar to those established by NAACCR for
Cancer; Provide support to NCAPG members to make their own data accessible to
researchers and prepare it for participation in a national network (including addressing the patient consent necessary to accomplish this goal);
Long Term Establish protocols for research using the ADR, including an IRB and an
Honest Broker (an individual tasked with distributing data pursuant to IRB authorization);
Develop a reporting website like SEER for AD (see http://seer.cancer.gov/data/)
Identify sources of ongoing funding for the ADR and submit proposals to promising sources.
68
NEXT STEPS
Establish a governing process for NCAPG oversight and control of the registry
Establish protocols for data handling and use Begin to aggregate de-identified NCAPG data Create a central query resource for de-identified AD Data Engage with NIH and others to bring all AD under a single
umbrella, like Cancer
