Approximately 12 million adults in the US have a history of gout, but whether serum urate levels can help predict recurrence is unclear. ⋯ In this retrospective study of patients with a history of gout, serum urate levels at baseline were associated with the risk of subsequent gout flares and rates of hospitalization for recurrent gout. These findings support using a baseline serum urate level to assess risk of recurrent gout over nearly 10 years of follow-up.
