Patients with gout who did not experience recurrent flares had a shorter mean time between diagnosis and the start of urate-lowering therapy compared with those who had ≥1 flare.

Patients with gout achieving target serum uric acid levels showed good adherence to urate-lowering therapy, used antihypertensive agents, and lacked a family history of gout.
