Background  Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is an autoinflammatory bone disorder that if left untreated can result in bone destruction and severe continuing pain due to persistent inflammation. The impact this chronic disease has on the daily lives of affected children and their families is not well known. The purpose of this study is to understand the disease burden and socioeconomic and psychological impact of CNO from the patients’ and families’ perspectives and identify areas of improvement for patient care and reduced disease burden based on patients’ and families’ responses.    Methods  Participants were invited through a social media platform group and at clinic visits at Stanford Children’s Health. An online survey was administered to patients with a diagnosis of CNO made at < 22 years of age and/or the parent/guardian of a patient with CNO diagnosis made at < 22 years of age.    Results  There was a total of 284 survey participants. The median age at CNO diagnosis was 10 years (range 2–22+). Median time from first CNO symptom to diagnosis was 2 years. Antibiotics were used in 35% of patients prior to CNO diagnosis; of these, 24% received antibiotics for greater than 6 months. Between 25 and 61% reported a negative effect of CNO on relationships, school/work performance, or finances; and 19–50% reported effects on psychosocial well-being. The majority agreed patients’ performance with daily tasks and hobbies was challenged by pain, fatigue and physical limitation related to CNO.    Conclusions  Patients with CNO experienced on average a 2-year delay in diagnosis and receiving effective treatments. At least 25% reported problems with relationships, school, work, finances and well-being due to CNO. Recognition of these challenges emphasizes the need to increase awareness of this disease and address the socioeconomic stressors and mental health issues in order to provide optimal care of children with CNO.
