Gout in the ED and Improving Research Participation (NCT04075903)
Improving Care for Gout in the Southeast Enhancing Gout Minority Patients Care and Participation in Gout Clinical Research
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The prevalence of gout has been steadily increasing over several decades and is correlated with the rising burden of obesity, chronic cardiac and renal disease; all conditions overrepresented in the Southeastern U.S. - particularly in African Americans. Through a novel emergency department led intervention we aim to improve the care patients with gout receive, both during acute exacerbations and long-term. A secondary goal of the project is to concurrently enhance participation of minorities in biomedical research in the Deep South.
