Quality of life, fatigue, socioeconomic impact of the disease and therapeutic adherence were selected as core domains to include in the registry.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Respondents were reached via SIMBA communication channels in 167 cases (83.5%) and the AIDA Network affiliated clinical centers in 33 cases (16.5%). The median value of the Beh\u00e7et\u2019s Disease Quality of Life (BDQoL) score was 14 (IQR 11, range 0\u201330), indicating a medium quality of life, and the median Global Fatigue Index (GFI) was 38.7 (IQR 10.9, range 1\u201350), expressing a significant level of fatigue. The mean Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ) necessity-concern differential was 0.9\u2009\u00b1\u20091.1 (range \u2013 1.8\u20134), showing that the registry participants prioritized necessity belief over concerns to a limited extent. As for the socioeconomic impact of BD, in 104 out of 187 cases (55.6%), patients had to pay from their own pocket for medical exams required to reach the diagnosis. The low family socioeconomic status (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001), the presence of any major organ involvement (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.031), the presence of gastro-intestinal (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001), neurological (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.012) and musculoskeletal (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.022) symptoms, recurrent fever (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.002), and headache (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) were associated to a higher number of accesses to the healthcare system. Multiple linear regression showed that the BDQoL score could significantly predict the global socioeconomic impact of BD (<jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200914.519, OR 1.162 [CI
