Background: We sought to examine the cardiovascular safety of intensive treat-to-target serum urate strategies for gout using Medicare claims data linked to electronic health record laboratory data.
Methods: We selected patients with gout who initiated urate-lowering therapy. We emulated a hypothetical trial comparing the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, and cardiovascular death) among seven different strategies over 24 months.

Early diagnosis and the optimal control of inflammation, with a continuous cycle of assessment, treatment, monitoring, and adjustment of therapy, is best practice for the management of inflammatory bowel disease. However, patients express frustration with ongoing challenging symptoms, often discordant with inflammation, including abdominal pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and emotional wellness; these are often not optimally addressed by inflammatory bowel disease clinicians due to lack of time or resources. This review will highlight the burden of these symptoms and issues, suggest ways of assessing these in clinical practice, highlight the importance of acknowledging and validating the symptoms and issues with patients, reassuring them that they are being heard, and discuss different possible models of service delivery for psychosocial support, from fully integrated gastropsychology models to referral pathways that optimize community support.
