    The study developed a machine learning model to predict gout flares in hospitalized patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

  • 2

    The Random Forest algorithm demonstrated the highest predictive performance, with an AUC of 0.951 and accuracy of 0.901.

  • 3

    Key predictors identified for gout flares included serum uric acid, creatinine, hemoglobin, blood urea nitrogen, BMI, and alcohol consumption.

  • 4

    The model's clinical utility was confirmed through decision curve analysis, supporting its use in early identification of high-risk patients.

  • 5

    This research addresses the lack of effective risk-stratification tools for predicting gout flares in the unique inpatient population.
