Objective:

To identify predictive factors for gout recurrence (GoutRe) in hospitalized patients with comorbid gout and develop an interpretable AI model for predicting recurrence.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Gout prevalence in China has significantly increased, reaching 3.2% in adults during 2015-2017, indicating a growing public health concern.
    • Recurrence rates of gout among hospitalized patients range from 14% to 43%, highlighting the need for effective management strategies.
    • Factors such as serum urate levels, diuretic use, and comorbidities are significantly associated with GoutRe, suggesting areas for targeted intervention.
    Interpretation:

    The study underscores the necessity for a comprehensive predictive model for GoutRe, which can assist clinicians in tailoring treatment plans and enhancing patient outcomes.

    Limitations:
    • Limited generalizability due to the study being conducted in specific tertiary hospitals, which may not represent the broader population.
    • Potential biases in retrospective data collection and patient selection could influence the reliability of the findings.
    Conclusion:

    The development of an AI model for predicting gout recurrence has the potential to significantly enhance clinical decision-making and reduce the burden of gout on patients and healthcare systems.
