[Cardiovascular risk in gout - Role of allopurinol?]
Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde(2021)
Abstract
The treatment of gout is subject to different national and international guidelines. These guidelines differ in the extent to which they consider cardiovascular risk factors when deciding to start allopurinol. Observational studies and limited trial data suggest that treatment with allopurinol may reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with gout. However, at this moment allopurinol remains an unproven strategy. There is need for a large randomized placebo-controlled trial with sufficient power and duration of follow-up.
