Focus of This Summary
This is a summary of two systematic reviews. One review evaluated the evidence regarding the accuracy and safety of tests used to initially diagnose gout in the primary care, urgent care, or emergency care setting. The other review examined the evidence base for treating patients with acute gout attacks in the primary care setting. The former systematic review included 27 articles published through February 29, 2016. The latter systematic review included 154 articles published through March 1, 2016. This summary is provided to assist in informed clinical decisionmaking. However, reviews of evidence should not be construed to represent clinical recommendations or guidelines.
