Incidence and prevalence of gout in Eastern China from 2011 to 2021: a retrospective population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To characterize the burden of gout by estimating the temporal trends in prevalence and incidence, and assessing age- and gender-specific patterns in Yinzhou, Ningbo, China (2011-2021).

Methods

A population-based retrospective study was conducted using the Yinzhou Regional Health Information Platform. Poisson regression estimated the 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for prevalence and incidence rates, and relative risks for both rates across subgroups. Age-standardized incidence (ASIR) and prevalence rates (ASPR) were calculated based on China's 2020 census. The average annual percent changes (AAPCs) of standardized rates were calculated to estimate the secular trends using joinpoint regression analysis.

Results

Of the over 1.1 million resident adults, 23,967
