Free Communications of the Gulf Association of Endocrinology and Diabetes Annual Congress 2023, Muscat, Oman, October 19–21, 2023

These are the abstracts of the Clinical Congress of the Gulf Association of Endocrinology and Diabetes (GAED) held on October 19 – 21, 2023. 1,2 The educational objective of the congress was to give a “ state of the art in endocrine practice. ” The programs included plenary symposia, delivered by international and regional keyopinion leaders. In addition, free communications on current research and clinical practice within and beyond the Gulf region were presented as oral presentations and posters. We present here the abstracts of these free communications after minimal restyling and editing to suit the publication requirements of the journal. We hope that by publishing them in our open-access journal, we provide early recognition of the work and extend the bene fi t to those who could not make it to the live presentations similar to our previous conferences. 3 – 6 We also hope to stimulate networking between parties of mutual research interests.
