This is very true. We showed a number of years ago that patients with gout have increased platelet activation at baseline, which then dramatically increases during flare. Treating gout properly may ameliorate this. #ACR24 @RheumNow https://t.co/VL8fy3ezjx https://t.co/9XdrG1NG9c
ACR Convergence 2024 opened today with a full slate of presentations, posters and specialty meetings. The meeting began with a flip: the plenary sessions started at 9AM and the poster session began at 1030 AM. Below are some of the highlights from day one in Washington, DC.

Challener et al. TriNetX study. 32,000 patients. SGLT2i reduce need for gout visits (HR 0.94) ULT initiation (HR 0.69) and colchicine (HR 0.82). I worry about the discordant rates, ULT initiation much lower. @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#0848 https://t.co/VTKHMmDEKV https://t.co/C2opiDmBXx

📈 Data from @UIowa_Rheum on how rurality impacts delay to diagnosis in #GCA
📍 0747
👉🏼 People living in more rural areas have an increased time to diagnosis & treatment- further prospective studies needed to delineate effects of rurality further

Yokose et al. Population study using NHANES. Gout patients had 1.6 higher fold risk of gallstone disease. What? Why do we care? Well, GLP-1s associated with higher risk gallstones also... @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#0133 https://t.co/nf4R0hQe50 https://t.co/wDrEDeNbpT

#ACR24 Year in Review: 💡GLP1i significantly decreased knee OA pain over time (or was it the wt loss itself?🤨) 💡CD19 CAR T-Cell therapy has potential to treat/cure many autoimmune diseases (are risks and $ worth the benefit?) 💡 High risk of CV events within 30 days of gout… https://t.co/XF63zr6lk4 https://t.co/oRNri66Il9

CV risk after gout attack
1.75x increase risk of acute CV risk in first 30 days after gout flare (significant) possibly up to 120 days (didn’t reach significance)

Year in review: Can #gout flares increase CV risk?
Cipoletta et al - pts with gout may be at inc risk of CV events for at least 30-120 days after flares.
Emphasize CV risk mgt in all patients w/ gout.
