Covid-19 related mortality more common in women with gout: Lancet
USA: In the UK Biobank cohort, gout is a potential risk for COVID-19-related mortality, with an elevated risk in women with gout, which has been driven by risk variables independent of gout's metabolic comorbidities, says an article published in The Lancet Rheumatology.
There is a scarcity of evidence on the results of persons suffering from gout and COVID-19. As a result, Ruth K Topless and colleagues undertook this study to determine if gout is a risk factor for COVID-19 diagnosis and mortality, as well as to look for gender and drug-specific changes in risk.
The researchers examined data from the UK Biobank, which contained 15 871 gout patients. Using a case-control research design, multivariable-adjusted logistic regression was utilized in the following analyses: to look for an association between gout and COVID-19 diagnostic test in the entire UK Biobank cohort; to look for a connection between gout and COVID-19-related death in people who have been known to have died or survived with COVID-19; to look for an affiliation between gout and COVID-19-related death in the entire UK Biobank cohort; as well as to look for an association between gout and COVID-19-related death in a subset of patients in the UK Biobank cohort with
