Endovascular Interventional Procedure is a Significant Risk Factor of Postsurgical Gout: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Surgery is a risk factor for flares in people with gout. However, gout flares after endovascular interventional procedures are not well understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical features and risk factors for gout flare that develop during the postsurgical period including endovascular procedures.

Methods

We enrolled 222 patients with gout who developed postsurgical gout and 196 controls who had histories of gout but did not develop gout flares after surgery within 20 days. Clinical characteristics of patients who developed a postsurgical gout flare were compared with the controls.

Results

The rate of endovascular interventional procedures was higher (38.74% vs. 13.48%, P < 0.001) in the flare group than in the no-flare group and lower
