Economic and objective burden of caregiving on informal caregivers of patients with systemic vasculitis

Introduction: Systemic vasculitis (SV) is associated with substantial economic impact to patients and the healthcare system but little is known about the burden of SV on informal caregivers.

We asked patients about the extent to which they felt they were a burden to their identified caregivers.
