Abstract:
Objective To investigate the treatment compliance and uric acid control rate in patients with primary gout.Methods One hundred primary gout patients with disease duration ＞ 6 months treated in our hospital from June 2015 to June 2016 were enrolled in the study.The treatment compliance and disease control rate were evaluated with revised Chinese Compliance Questionnaire-Rheumatology (CCQR).Results Eighty four valid questionnaires was recovered for analysis.Among 84 patients there were 46 cases of high compliance (54.8％) and 38 cases of poor compliance (45.2％).The CCQR score in high compliance group was significantly higher than that in poor compliance group (73.48 ± 15.62 vs.48.37 ±10.96,t =8.352,P ＜ 0.001).There were no significant differences in education level,personal income,family history,health insurance and type of uric-acid-lowering drugs between high compliance group and low compliance group (P ＞ 0.05).The duration of gout was shorter in high compliance group than that in low compliance group [(6.12 ± 1.79) y vs.(13.24 ± 4.56) y,P ＜ 0.001].The uric acid control rate in high compliance group was higher than that in poor compliance group (76.1％ vs.36.8％,x2 =13.186,P =0.000 3);and the serum uric acid levels were (369.82 ± 35.67)μmol/L and (497.46 ± 63.49)μmol/L in two groups,respectively (t =11.606,P ＜ 0.001).Conclusion It is necessary to strengthen health education for gout patients to improve the treatment compliance and to achieve the high uric acid control rate.
