To learn about characteristics of this population
To create the connection between practionners
(general, emergency and specialist practionners)
Unambigous information
Personalized contact
Research projects
State-of-the art, Guidelines
Information diffusion ( associations, authority)
Tool for educational projects
To serve of structure (framework) for other chronical pathologies
