Improvements in Health‐Related Quality of Life With Treat‐to‐Target Urate‐Lowering Therapy in Gout: A Post Hoc Analysis of a Randomized Multicenter Trial

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Although treat‐to‐target urate‐lowering therapy (ULT) is endorsed as best practice in gout management, limited data exist on its impact on health‐related quality of life (HRQoL). We assessed the impact of treat‐to‐target ULT on HRQoL among participants receiving protocolized gout care, identifying factors associated with HRQoL and HRQoL ...
