Abstract

Both gout and osteoarthritis (OA) are common forms of arthritis that inflict a huge burden to an aging population with the increasing prevalence of obesity. Clinicians have long observed the link between these two conditions. In this review, we summarize the evidence from epidemiologic and immunological studies that described the possible relationship between the two conditions. The recent new understanding on monosodium uric acid crystal-induced inflammation has given insight into probable shared pathogenesis pathways for both conditions. We describe the potential therapeutic implications, particularly regarding the possibility of repurposing traditional gout medications for use in OA.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 22. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 August 2020.
All research outputs
#1,474,402
of 23,011,300 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Medicine
#336
of 5,782 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#36,154
of 439,212 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Medicine
#6
of 78 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,011,300 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 93rd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,782 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 439,212 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 78 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
