Detailed description

This study aims to investigate the experiences and perceptions of patients with Takayasu arteritis regarding their disease, as well as the perspectives of physicians regarding the management and treatment of these patients. Patients with TAK will be invited to complete an anonymous online (Online Surveys) questionnaire, which will take approximately 25 minutes and will consist of multiple-choice and short-answer questions. The questionnaire will ask about their experience with the condition, symptoms, treatments they have received, and any concerns or priorities they have regarding their care. Physicians who treat TAK will also be invited to complete a separate online questionnaire, taking around 15 minutes and also consisting of multiple-choice and short-answer questions.
