Gout

      My favorite three presentations from day 4 (Tuesday) at ACR 2021 included the following.

      Gout being sneaky🧐 Common consult question is "infection or flare?" in patients with gout. @ACR21 ABS0467 w/ Dr Michael Toprover: 🔸Calibrating DECT for LS-spine in gout patients. 🔹DECT signal = MSU deposition? 🔸Future data on back pain/gout flare/MSU🤞? @RheumaRepublic https://t.co/aDCusqBk8G

      Important #gout study (I'm biased): allopurinol is non-inferior to febuxostat with regards to gout flare when used in a T2T approach, with no differences in AEs, including CV risk. 99% achieved serum urate target over course of trial. Key slides following. #ACR21 https://t.co/tWeGvZ4rKY

      We may be getting a new urate lowering therapy. Tigulixostat is a non-purine selective xanthine oxidase inhibitor. Nothing worrying on safety. But I think febuxostat is probably more effective than this? Abstr#L05 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/Lg0slMlah2

      Dr Stewart @TonyMerriman2 report in 16,000 patients that repeat serum urate testing not superior to single measure in predicting incident gout over 9 years. Makes sense in general, maybe different in those with medication changes etc? Abstr#1449 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/69NofMNuB8

      In general low health literacy has ⬆️association with non adherence in chronic disease Rx including gout prevention but many other reasons for non adherence cross the health literacy divide. Ex use of alternative Rx, denial, side effects, advice from non HCPs #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/mIIndW1FnV

      #ACR21 Rheum Secrets and Pearls Is it Allopurinol or adherence concern? Oxypurinol can be helpful in measuring adherence! Kolfenbach: "I despise the term non-compliant patient." Address the many reasons why adherence may be low! Health literacy is key. @Rheumnow https://t.co/CPJ8kvqcCm

      DECT (dual energy CT) very helpful to distinguish gout from other crystals and give volumetric measurements using color-coded images... So do we need to do arthrocentesis to diagnose gout anymore? #ACR21 https://t.co/kn2IpXP870
