Foot problems in people with gout in primary care: baseline findings from a prospective cohort study (2015)
Journal Article
Bucknall, Roddy, Mallen, Hider, & Muller. (2015). Foot problems in people with gout in primary care: baseline findings from a prospective cohort study. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 31 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-015-0090-9

BACKGROUND: Foot problems are common in people with gout yet the prevalence of current foot problems in people with gout and the burden they present to healthcare systems is not known. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the prevalence and... Read More about Foot problems in people with gout in primary care: baseline findings from a prospective cohort study.

O31. Gout and Risk of Subsequent Vascular Event: A Discrete-Time Event History Analysis in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (2015)
Journal Article
Clarson, L. E., Hider, S. L., Belcher, J., Roddy, E., Heneghan, C., & Mallen, C. D. (2015). O31. Gout and Risk of Subsequent Vascular Event: A Discrete-Time Event History Analysis in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink. Rheumatology, 54(S1), https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/kev084.001

Background: Current evidence suggests that gout is an independent risk factor for excess cardiovascular morbidity and mortality; yet, suboptimal care for patients with gout in primary care persists. We aimed to identify risk factors specific to these...

306. How Do General Practitioners Manage Suspected Giant Cell Arteritis (2015)
Journal Article
Helliwell, T., Muller, S., Hider, S. L., Richardson, J., & Mallen, C. (2015). 306. How Do General Practitioners Manage Suspected Giant Cell Arteritis. Rheumatology, 54(S1), https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/kev090.071

Background: Background: GCA is the commonest large vessel vasculitis yet a full time UK general practitioner (GP) can expect to see just one case, at most every 1–2 years. Untreated GCA can lead to permanent visual loss, thus it is essential GPs reco... Read More about 306. How Do General Practitioners Manage Suspected Giant Cell Arteritis.

BACKGROUND: Hyperuricaemia, the biochemical precursor to gout, has been shown to be an independent risk factor for mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD), although studies examining the clinical phenomenon of gout and risk of CVD mortality repor...
