Research Article: Gout Knowledge: A Survey of Australian Outpatients with Gout

Date Published: 2024-01-13

Abstract:
The prevalence of gout has increased globally, due to a combination of ageing and increasing prevalence of obesity. This increasing burden of gout has led a call to optimize treatment and management of gout at individual, community and national levels., Recently, lifestyle and dietary factors (such as weight gain, sugary beverages, fruit juice, low fat dairy products) have been linked in epidemiological studies to a modification of risk of gout,– though patient knowledge of these factors is not common. In addition, adherence to urate lowering therapy, such as allopurinol, in patients with gout is often low (–%), resulting in frequent failure to meet serum uric acid (SUA) targets which are crucial to successful gout management., Adequate knowledge of gout treatment is likely to enhance adherence, and personalised education with nurse-led programs may facilitate this.,
