Background
Initiating urate-lowering therapy can trigger gout flares. Gout flares have been associated with a temporally increased risk of cardiovascular events. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with gout...

Objective
To investigate the temporal association between first diagnosis of gout and cardiovascular events in the short-term.

Methods
We performed a self-controlled case series analysis and a cohort study using data from linked primary care, ho... Read More about Short-Term Risk of Cardiovascular Events in People Newly Diagnosed With Gout.

Background Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common neurological disorders in children and results in lifelong physical impairments. Adults with CP have approximately the same life expectancy as their non-disabled peers, so helping them to stay... Read More about The impact of ageing on adults with cerebral palsy.
