Abstract
Gout, hyperuricemia, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are prevalent conditions in the United States, and while they share common risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, relatively little is known about what patient and disease characteristics may link CVD with hyperuricemia and gout and how the presence of both diseases affects management decisions differently than for patients with gout alone. To identify differences in patient characteristics, patterns of urate-lowering therapy (ULT) use, and gout control in gout patients with and without cardiovascular comorbidity. Data were assessed from a survey of U.S. physicians who performed in-depth patient chart audits of their last 5 consecutive adult patients with confirmed gout as determined by the medical record and clinical notes. Comorbidities, gout symptoms, length of current treatment, sociodemographic factors, and physician type were identified from the chart review. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression described differences among patients with and without comorbid CVD and assessed ULT use and gout control. Of the 1,159 patient charts that were reviewed, 738 patients had CVD and gout, and 421 had gout alone. Pa...Continue Reading
