Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to identify variables that predict gout remission in people with erosive gout receiving urate-lowering therapy.
Methods: We analyzed data from a two-year, double-masked randomized-controlled trial of people with erosive gout, randomized to a serum urate target of <0.20 mmol/L or <0.30 mmol/L using oral urate-lowering therapies. All participants had dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) scans of the feet and ankles at baseline. The proportion of participants achieving gout remission according to the 2016 preliminary gout remission criteria and simplified gout remission criteria (without the patient reported outcomes) was analyzed. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate predictors of gout remission in year 2.
Results: The preliminary gout remission criteria were fulfilled in 11 of 97 participants (11%) at year 1 and 21 of 92 participants (23%) at year 2. The simplified criteria were fulfilled in 26 of 97 participants (27%) in year 1 and 40 of 92 participants (44%) in year 2. In multivariable regression models, baseline DECT monosodium urate crystal volume was the only significant independent predictor of gout remission at year 2, using either criteria. Each 1-cm3 increase in the baseline DECT monosodium urate crystal volume decreased the odds of fulfilling the 2016 preliminary gout remission criteria (odds ratio [OR] 0.65, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.46-0.93; P = 0.02) and the simplified gout remission criteria (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.41-0.78; P < 0.001).
Conclusion: In people with erosive gout on urate-lowering therapy, higher baseline DECT monosodium urate crystal volume is associated with lower odds of gout remission after two years of treatment, defined by either the preliminary gout remission criteria or simplified gout remission criteria.
