BACKGROUND: The relationship between systemic inflammatory index (SII), sex steroid hormones, dietary antioxidants (DA), and gout has not been determined. We aim to develop a reliable and interpretable machine learning (ML) model that links SII, sex ...
Hyperuricemia (HUA) has emerged as the second most prevalent metabolic disorder characterized by prolonged and asymptomatic period, triggering gout and metabolism-related outcomes. Early detection and prognosis prediction for HUA and gout are crucial...
OBJECTIVES: We propose and test a framework to detect disease diagnosis using a recent large language model (LLM), Meta's Llama-3-8B, on French-language electronic health record (EHR) documents. Specifically, it focuses on detecting gout ('goutte' in...
OBJECTIVE: To develop a machine learning (ML) model using clinical data and ultrasound features for gout prediction, and apply SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) for model interpretation.

BACKGROUND: Individuals with hyperuricemia (HUA) are widely recognized as being at increased risk for gout. This study aimed to investigate how physical activity (PA) duration and sedentary duration impact gout risk in individuals with HUA and to dev...
OBJECTIVE: Raman spectroscopy is proposed as a next-generation method for the identification of monosodium urate (MSU) and calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystals in synovial fluid. As the interpretation of Raman spectra requires specific expertise, the...
OBJECTIVES: Stage ≥3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects ∼25% of people with gout. The effects of urate-lowering therapy (ULT) on CKD incidence and progression have remained inconclusive. Here, we assessed the impact of a gout ULT clinic interventio...
