The IMPACT survey: a mixed methods study to understand the experience of children, adolescents and adults with osteogenesis imperfecta and their caregivers

Abstract

IMPACT has generated an extensive dataset on the experience of individuals with OI, their caregivers and relatives. We found that, irrespective of age, individuals with OI experience numerous and evolving symptoms that affect their QoL; however, pain and fatigue are consistently present. Upcoming analyses will provide further insights into the economic impact, healthcare journey and caregiver wellbeing, aiming to contribute to improved treatment and care for the OI community.
