Gout patients miss out on treatment

Only a minority of gout sufferers in England receive the recommended treatment to cure their condition, according to a new study.

 In a study published in JAMA, academics from The University of Nottingham have found that only one-third of eligible patients with gout receive the recommended treatment. Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis and its incidence and prevalence have increased in recent years. Current guidelines recommend a urate-lowering treatment for patients with more severe gout and those with accompanying conditions.
