Gout Flare

Patients with gout demonstrate an increased risk for venous thromboembolism during the 30 days following a flare consultation or hospitalization, according to data published in Arthritis & Rheumatology.

Patients with gout are more likely to experience a cardiovascular event following a flare, according to data published in JAMA.

A group of researchers have developed a rule that can help identify patients at high risk for gout flare during a hospital stay, according to data published in Rheumatology.

There is a lack of high-quality treatment studies in patients hospitalized for gout flares, and zero prospective studies on ways to improve urate-lowering therapy use and prevent readmission, according to data published in Rheumatology.
