This research aims to collect detailed information about how rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases RMDs affect patients across Europe and beyond. It focuses on understanding the impact of these conditions on patients healthcare experiences, social lives, and work situations. The gathered data will help researchers, healthcare professionals, and patients better understand the challenges faced by people living with these diseases. Participants will complete periodic online surveys that ask about their healthcare, disease burden, treatments, quality of life, and other related aspects. These surveys will be conducted every six months and continue for up to five years, allowing researchers to track changes over time. The study involves only survey participation without any medical treatment or intervention. During the study, participants will provide information through questionnaires about their diagnosis, healthcare usage, disease effects, work impact, and demographics. The research team will monitor these responses regularly to analyze trends and outcomes related to living with RMDs. The total participation period can last up to five years, with surveys repeated twice each year to gather ongoing insights.
