Objective The present study concentrates on health care in the field of gastroenterology in which an important chronic non- fatal disease will undergo synchronous, uniform, and (near) total analysis of all-important aspects related to long-term disease outcome. In addition, this effort will be made in a European population based patient group covering the whole geographic width of the continent. The effort will be facilitated by the fact that the patient cohort is already well defined by previous studies. Our hypothesis is that chronic non-fatal diseases have an evolving course in time. "Natural course of disease" does not exist any more, as changing therapeutic, social, and environmental factors continuously influence the outcome. The proposed study will serve as an example to the medical and paramedical community, showing periodical updating to be necessary for every chronic non-fatal Condition. This study will deliver simultaneous scientific evidence of all aspects influencing disease outcome for both the single patient and the community. Based on this evidence a convincing model will be contemplated forth European Community to project health care planning for both IBD and other chronic non-tat diseases Fields of science medical and health sciencesclinical medicinegastroenterologyinflammatory bowel disease Programme(s) FP5-LIFE QUALITY - Specific Programme for research, technological development and demonstration on "Quality of life and management of living resources", 1998-2002 Topic(s) 1.1.1.-10. - Public health and health services research Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL MAASTRICHT EU contribution No data Address Peter Debyelaan 25 6229 HX MAASTRICHT Netherlands See on map Total cost No data Participants (15) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all ADELAIDE & MEAT HOSPITALS, INCORPORATING THE NATIONAL CHILDRENS HOSPITAL Ireland EU contribution No data Address Tallaght Dublin 24 See on map Total cost No data ARCISPEDALE SANTA MARIA NUOVA Italy EU contribution No data Address Viale Umberto I, 50 42100 REGGIO EMILIA See on map Total cost No data AZIENDA OSPEDALIERA CAREGGI FIRENZE Italy EU contribution No data Address Viale Pieraccini 17 50134 FIRENZE See on map Total cost No data AZIENDA OSPEDALIERA ISTITUTI OSPITALIERI DI CREMONA Italy EU contribution No data Address via Concordia 1 26100 CREMONA See on map Total cost No data BEN GURION UNIVERSITY OF THE NEGEV Israel EU contribution No data Address 653 84105 BEER SHEVA See on map Total cost No data HERLEV UNIVERSITET HOSPITAL Denmark EU contribution No data Address Herlev Ringvej 75 2730 HERLEV See on map Total cost No data HOSPITAL GARCIA DE ORTA SA Portugal EU contribution No data Address Av Prof torrado da Silva, Pragal 2801-951 ALMADA See on map Total cost No data HOSPITAL SANTA MARIA Portugal EU contribution No data Address Av.
