Patients' experiences with Beh çet's syndrome: structured interviews among patients with different types of organ involvement.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with BS identified several domains, including physical functioning, psychological state, and social identity that are significantly modulated by the symptoms of BS. Those are inter-related with physical symptoms, reflecting the multi-system character of BS, and impair patients' function impacting on psychological and social identities. This work advances an understanding of BS, and will be useful in developing patient-oriented outcome measures for use in studying BS. PMID: 31025933 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
