Knowledge and Treatment of Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia Versus Gout Among Physicians in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Survey
The knowledge and practice of physicians for managing AH or gout were unsatisfactory.

Despite advanced diagnostic tools and treatment processes, physicians have many misconceptions. Hence, continuous medical education focusing on AH or gout is vital to address these misconceptions.
