About this study
Official title: Investigating Mechanisms of Participatory Autoimmune Condition Treatment (IMPACT): An Outcomes Research Registry of a Comprehensive Approach to Autoimmune Disorders
This is a patient research registry aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of a comprehensive, root-cause medical approach ("AndHealth program") for autoimmune disorders. This approach involves a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies offered under the care of a licensed physician with the support of health coaches. While protocol guidance is provided, the therapeutic approach is personalized to the individual needs of patients. The autoimmune disorders of focus in this registry include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis and ankylosing spondylitis. A variety of validated labs, patient-reported outcomes, and medication usage will be assessed among participating patients over a period of up to five years to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of this approach.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Root-cause autoimmune treatment programOther
The AndHealth autoimmune treatment program combines validated and guideline-driven approaches along with emerging evidence-based modalities. The program includes a comprehensive assessment of disease severity, analysis of root causes and comorbidities, and an evaluation of the patient's readiness for implementing important lifestyle changes. This is followed by the development of an optimized and personalized plan to achieve and sustain clinical remission while monitoring their progress. Each patient participating in the AndHealth program receives a personalized care plan developed by the patient's medical provider in collaboration with a team of healthcare specialists. Helping a patient manage everyday lifestyle decisions can have a profound effect on their ability to achieve and maintain remission. The AndHealth Program has organized these into four basic groups of lifestyle behaviors: 1.) Dietary/Nutrition, 2.) Sleep/Circadian, 3.) Stress/HPA axis, and 4.) Physical Activity.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
PROMIS - Global Health
Change in PROMIS - Global Health is a co-primary outcome for all patients. All patients will provide the PROMIS - Global Health at baseline and all follow-up visits. The 10-item PROMIS Global Health is a patient-reported survey that was designed for use in complex heterogeneous patient populations. The PROMIS Global Health measures overall health status across several physical and mental health areas. PROMIS t-scores range from 16.2 to 67.7 (Physical Health) and 21.2 to 67.6 (Mental Health) with higher scores indicating better health.
Measured: Baseline and approximately quarterly thereafter for up to 5 years
Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3 (RAPID 3)
Change in RAPID 3 is a co-primary outcome for rheumatoid arthritis \& psoriatic arthritis patients. All patients with rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis will provide the RAPID 3 at baseline and all follow-up visits. This 3-item questionnaire is a rheumatological disease activity index that is calculated to reflect severity of disease. Scores range from 0 to 30 with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
Measured: Baseline and approximately quarterly thereafter for up to 5 years
Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)
Change in DLQI is a co-primary outcome for psoriasis patients. All patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis will provide the DLQI at baseline and all follow-up visits. This 10-item questionnaire is a common measure of the health-related quality of life for skin disorders. DLQI scores range from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating worse quality of life.
Measured: Baseline and approximately quarterly thereafter for up to 5 years
Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI)
Change in BASDAI is a co-primary outcome for ankylosing spondylitis patients. All patients with ankylosing spondylitis will provide the BASDAI at baseline and all follow-up visits. This 6-item questionnaires is a brief, validated measure of ankylosing spondylitis activity. BASDAI scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
Measured: Baseline and approximately quarterly thereafter for up to 5 years
Secondary outcomes (3)
Patient Health Questionnaire for Anxiety and Depression (PHQ4)
Change in PHQ4 is a secondary outcome for all patients. All patients will provide the PHQ4 at baseline and at follow-up visits, as is warranted by scores. This 4-item questionnaire is a common measure of anxiety and depression symptoms. PHQ4 scores range from 0 to 12, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
Measured: Baseline and approximately quarterly thereafter for up to 5 years
Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28)
Change in DAS28 is a secondary outcome for rheumatoid arthritis patients. The DAS28 is a measure of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis that will be assessed at baseline and all follow-up visits for participants with rheumatoid arthritis. DAS stands for 'disease activity score' and 28 joints are examined in this assessment. DAS28 scores range from 0 to 9.4, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
Measured: Baseline and approximately quarterly thereafter for up to 5 years
Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)
Change in PASI is a secondary outcome for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis patients. The PASI is a measure of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis severity that will be assessed at baseline and all follow-up visits for participants with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis. This common clinical measure selects a representative area of psoriasis for each body region. The intensity of redness, thickness, and scaling of the psoriasis is assessed by the clinician. PASI scores range from 0 to 72, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
Measured: Baseline and approximately quarterly thereafter for up to 5 years
