A second international online survey to assess the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people living with acromegaly and endocrinologists managing all aspects of the condition. Findings from the survey were presented at NORD Rare Summit, 18th-19th October. The survey concludes that use of remote communications offers a positive shift in care patterns for people with acromegaly and their care team to manage this rare condition


The ACROCOVID II survey was developed in partnership with Sheila Khawaja and Muriël Marks from the World Alliance of Pituitary Organizations (WAPO), with HCP expertise provided by Prof. Maria Fleseriu and Prof. Mark Gurnell.
