The alcohol intake and drinking behaviour of 24 patients who presented with acute gout in a family practice over a 5-year period were compared with these features of a control population matched for sex, age, weight and use of hyperuricemia-inducing diuretics. The average weekly alcohol intake of the group with gout was twice that of the control group (p less than 0.02), and a statistically significant relation was found between alcohol abuse and acute gout (p less than 0.05). About half of the patients with gout drank excessively. Acute gout should be considered a possible clinical sign of alcohol abuse.
对一家全科诊所5年内出现急性痛风的24例患者的酒精摄入量和饮酒行为,与按性别、年龄、体重和使用可诱发高尿酸血症的利尿剂情况匹配的对照组人群的这些特征进行了比较。痛风组的平均每周酒精摄入量是对照组的两倍(p<0.02),且发现酒精滥用与急性痛风之间存在统计学上的显著关联(p<0.05)。约一半的痛风患者饮酒过量。急性痛风应被视为酒精滥用的一种可能临床迹象。
