Prognostic survey participation profile. RMSP, rheumatic musculoskeletal pain. The prognostic survey cohort sample was issued
from the TELECHIK survey, a population-based cohort study (November 2007 to May 2008)
(23). After elimination of 582 Chikungunya virus (CHIKV)-seronegative subjects and
90 subjects not presenting with RMSP at disease onset, 76 subjects were excluded (50
children, 15 adults for relocations and absence of contact, 11 for the absence of
overt temporality in the clinical course of Chikungunya rheumatism), leaving 346 eligible
adult participants assessed on the course of RMSP. This population was shifted towards
the selection of more women and older participants.
