Outpatient Gout Follow-up After an Emergency Department Visit for Gout Flares
Among a cohort of patients seeking urgent/emergent care for gout flare, only one-third followed up for gout in the outpatient setting. Modifiable factors such as colchicine prescription use were associated with gout follow-up, which may represent areas to target in future studies focused on promoting improved outpatient follow-up for gout.
