How often, if ever, do you use DECT to diagnose gout?

Dr Peral reports on intracellular crystal containing vacuoles in gout and CPP arthritis. Crystal containing vacuoles only seen in CPP arthritis. @rheumnow #ACR20 Abstr#666 https://t.co/ITQMXhjQt0

Dr Vargas-Santos reported on risk of gout with SGLT2-inhibitors using THIN database. Canagliflozin shown in prior RCT to reduce gout risk. Here dapagliflozin and empagliflozin showed even stronger effect @rheumnow #ACR20 Abstr#660 https://t.co/MTjByMmHo7

Dr Minalyan and colleagues report rates of gout flare following hospital admission of patients prescribed allopurinol. Gout flare 14 times more likely if allopurinol stopped or omitted. @rheumnow #ACR20 Abstr#688 https://t.co/x3eyX1PLFB
