Pascart T, et al. - Authors ascertained whether the extent of monosodium urate (MSU) burden measured with dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) and ultrasonography (US) is predictive of the risk of gout flares. They noted a 2.03-fold increase in the risk of flare during the first 6 months after initial assessment for each 1-cm³ increase in DECT MSU volume in foot deposits, and also found that the extent of MSU burden measured with DECT but not US was predictive of the risk of gout flares. Findings suggested that 0.81 cm³ to be the threshold volume best discriminating patients with and without flare.
