Objective: To evaluate the effect of initiating urate-lowering therapy during an acute gout attack on the duration, pain degree, inflammatory indicators, recurrence rate of gout flares, the adherence of urate-lowering therapy and safety by Meta-analysis. Methods: Randomized controlled trials to compare the effect of initiating urate-lowering therapy during an acute gout attack(experimental group) and after an acute gout attack(control group) were retrieved from SinoMed, CNKI, Wanfang Data, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane library and EMBase. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to December 2023. Two researchers independently retrieved literatures, extracted data, and evaluated the quality of all included literatures. RevMan5.3 software was used for data analysis. Results: A total of 12 studies with 1 000 patients were included. The results of Meta-analysis showed that there were no significant differences in the duration of acute gout attacks(SMD=-0.06, 95%CI -0.62-0.50, P=0.82), the pain visual analogue score(day 3:MD=0.07, 95%CI -0.19-0.34, P=0.60;day 7:MD=-0.10, 95%CI -0.34-0.13, P=0.38), the C-reactive protein(MD=-1.35,95%CI -3.57-0.87,P=0.23), the erythrocyte sedimentation rate(MD=-1.71,95%CI -4.24-0.81,P=0.18),the recurrence rate of gout flares(1 month: RR=1.19,95%CI 0.68-2.07,P=0.54; 3 months: RR=0.83, 95%CI 0.55-1.25,P=0.37;6 months: RR=0.87, 95%CI 0.49-1.53, P=0.63) and the incidence of adverse effects between two groups. The adherence of the experimental group was better than that of the control group(RR=1.40, 95%CI 1.18-1.65,P<0.001). Conclusion: With anti-inflammatory and analgesic therapy, initiating urate-lowering therapy during an acute gout attack will not prolong the duration, aggravate the degree of joint pain, or affect the resolution of joint inflammation. Furthermore, it will not increase the recurrence rate of gout flares and the incidence of adverse events. Additionally, initiating urate-lowering therapy during an acute gout attack may also increase the patients' adherence to urate-lowering therapy, although higher quality studies are needed to verify this conclusion. |
