Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Acromegaly Quality of Life (ACROQoL) Global Score

    Time frame · Cross-sectional at baseline

    Registry description

    The Global Score of the Acromegaly Quality of Life (ACROQoL) Survey measures quality of life in patients with acromegaly. Higher scores indicate better QOL. The range is 22-110 units on a scale.

  1. The Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) Total Score

    Time frame · Cross-sectional at baseline
