» ACROCOVID II Survey – a second international survey assessing the continuing impact of COVID-19 on the lives and care of people living with acromegaly

The objective of the ACROCOVID survey was to better understand the ongoing impact and management of patients living with acromegaly during COVID-19, the barriers experienced and identify potential new ways to manage patients in the changing clinical environment.

We developed to understand the view of people living with acromegaly and Endocrinologists. The surveys were translated into a number of languages, allowing us to obtain a global perpective.

This survey is hosted by COR2ED, funded by an independent medical educational grant from Ipsen.
