Abstract 2220: gout flares and allopurinol use population study. Unfortunately, gout is *vastly* undertreated. Similar abstracts 1247, 1272 show that pharmacist driven gout care can work well #ACR18 pic.twitter.com/09A85ehnf1

#ACR18 poster 1265:
Gout management in primary care can be improved with a thoughtful structured approach. Quantity and quality of ULT improves; proportion failing to meet SUA target fell from 64% to 39%. Exemplary approach to gout care. @RheumNow pic.twitter.com/GeE5RRU0Pr— ǝlʇʇıɥʍ ɯɐs (@samwhittle) October 22, 2018
