To assess in-hospital gout flares in patients with gout.
Hospitalizations were evaluated for gout flares in a cohort of Olmsted County, Minnesota, residents with incident gout in 1989-1992 or 2009-2010.
There were 429 patients followed up to 5 years. Of these, 169 patients experienced 454 hospitalizations. Hospitalization rates increased without reaching statistical significance from 1989-1992 to 2009-2010 [rate ratio (RR) 1.19, 95% CI 0.98-1.45]. The gout flare rate increased significantly during hospitalization (RR 10.2, 95% CI 6.8-14.5). In-hospital gout flare increased the average hospital stay by 1.8 days (p < 0.001).
Hospitalization increased the risk of gout flares 10-fold. In-hospital gout flares were associated with longer hospitalization.
评估痛风患者住院期间的痛风发作情况。
在明尼苏达州奥姆斯特德县的一个队列中,评估了 1989-1992 年或 2009-2010 年期间患有痛风的居民中痛风发作的住院情况。
共有 429 名患者随访 5 年。其中,169 名患者经历了 454 次住院。住院率从 1989-1992 年到 2009-2010 年有所增加,但没有达到统计学意义[发生率比(RR)为 1.19,95%可信区间(CI)为 0.98-1.45]。住院期间痛风发作率显著增加(RR 10.2,95%CI 6.8-14.5)。院内痛风发作使平均住院时间延长了 1.8 天(p<0.001)。
住院会使痛风发作的风险增加 10 倍。院内痛风发作与住院时间延长有关。
