Today, we launched The COVID-19 Rheumatology Patient Experience Survey.
This survey is for adult patients with a rheumatic illness or the parents of a child with a rheumatic illness.
Our mission is to create a secure, de-identified, international case reporting registry and curate and disseminate the outputs from that registry. It is our hope that the information collected will help guide rheumatology clinicians in assessing and treating patients with rheumatologic disease and in evaluating the risk of infection in patients on immunosuppression.
