Health-related quality of life assessed by gout impact scale (GIS) in Chinese patients with gout.

Conclusion: Gout-specific HR-QoL is impaired by social demographic and clinical characteristics, highlighting the importance of psychological factors (fatigue and depression) and patient-reported outcomes (patients' satisfaction and confidence in gout treatment). These findings suggest that more studies should focus on disease-specific HR-QoL. PMID: 33085514 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
