Abstract
Numerous international guidelines have been developed relating to the diagnosis and/or management of gout, including those published by the ACR [1], EULAR [2, 3] and the American College of Physicians [4]. In the UK, the first British Society for Rheumatology (BSR) gout guideline was published in 2007 and updated in 2017 [5, 6], whereas the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published its guideline for the diagnosis and management of gout in 2022 [7]. Not surprisingly, given that 5 years elapsed between the publication of these two UK guidelines, there are some differences between their recommendations. In this editorial, we compare and contrast the 2017 BSR and 2022 NICE gout guidelines [6, 7] and consider the extent to which the BSR guideline is superseded by the NICE guideline.
