Study description

*The study was withdrawn as Lesinurad was withdrawn from the market in Europe by the market authorization holder. Hence the commitment to do this PASS was removed by the European Medicines Agency.* - Non-interventional population-based prospective cohort study in multiple databases comparing patients with gout who initiate lesinurad in combination with an existing xanthine oxidase inhibitor (XOI) (lesinurad+XOI cohort) to a propensity score-matched cohort of similar patients from the same data source who continue treatment with XOI monotherapy (XOI mono cohort). Study will characterize the cardiovascular safety of lesinurad in combination with XOI in patients with gout aged 18+ years compared with similar patients who continue XOI monotherapy. Primary objective: to assess the relative incidence of major adverse cardiac events plus hospitalization for unstable angina (MACE+ events) in patients with gout in both cohorts. Secondary objectives: to describe the characteristics of the cohorts prior to matching, to assess the relative incidence of hospitalisation for acute kidney injury between the matched cohorts, to assess the relative incidence of individual MACE+ components in the matched cohorts.
