TY - JOUR AU - Singh, Jasvinder A. AU - Shah, Nipam AU - Edwards, N. Lawrence PY - 2016 DA - 2016/03/01 TI - A cross-sectional internet-based patient survey of the management strategies for gout JO - BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine SP - 90 VL - 16 IS - 1 AB - Almost half of the patients with gout are not prescribed urate-lowering therapy (ULT) by their health care provider and >50 % use complementary and alternative therapies. Diet modification is popular among gout patients due to known associations of certain foods with gout flares. The interplay of the use of dietary supplements, diet modification, and ULT adherence in gout patients is not known. Despite the recent interest in diet and supplements, there are limited data on their use. Our objective was to assess ULT use and adherence and patient preference for non-pharmacological interventions by patients with gout, using a cross-sectional survey.
