UNMET NEED IN GERIATRICS – PATIENT VOICE

Abstract

Rapid advancements in patient-care facilities are steadily increasing the global elderly population. Despite this demographic shift, the elderly population continues to be poorly represented in research studies. This report explores the potential of survey-based research as a valuable tool to gather missing data and ensure inclusivity of the elderly population, especially in the context of rare rheumatic diseases.
