Trial Information
Observational Online Gout Study
This is an observational study of gout, conducted online. The
purpose of the study is to determine what the risk factors are that
trigger gout attacks. The study involves completing a questionnaire
over the Internet each time you have an acute gout attack, as well
as a questionnaire approximately 4 times over the course of a year
when you are not having an attack. Each questionnaire should take
about 20 to 30 minutes. In addition, we will also obtain copies of
relevant portions of your medical records and/or copies of x-rays
or other relevant imaging studies to confirm your gout
diagnosis.
Patient Inclusion Criteria:
English-speaking people at least 18 years old, living in the U.S.
with a history of gout, at least one gout attack in the last year,
internet access, and a valid email address.
Patient Exclusion Criteria:
No internet access or valid email address. No physician-diagnosed
gout. No gout attack in the last year.
