An artificial intelligence-based gout management system reduced chronic kidney disease incident and improved target serum urate achievement

Rheumatology (Oxford)Published Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Application of the artificial intelligence-based Gout Intelligent Management System was associated with lower incidence of chronic kidney disease stage ≥3 and superior target serum urate achievement in people with gout.
