| Popis: | BackgroundAn unusual increase in the number of gout cases was observed in Cameroon in 2020. Was there a link with lifestyle changes during confinement, especially the consumption of certain types of beverages (beer, liquor, water, sweetened drinks)?ObjectivesTo determine if there was a correlation with the consumption of different beverages (water, beer, liquor, sweetened drinks).MethodsCross-sectional study in the rheumatology consultation of the Douala General Hospital, from January 1 to December 31, 2020, including all patients with a diagnosis of gout (ACR/EULAR criteria of 2015). Pearson’s correlation (r) was used to determine the effect of the consumption of the different beverages on the increase in the number of gout cases. A pResultsWe included 1952 patients, including 111 gout cases (107 men; median age: 51 years [36-81]). Compared with the same period in 2018 and 2019, a peak in gout cases was observed between May and November 2020 (Figure 1). In the same period, a positive correlation existed between the number of gout cases and the increase in sales of liquor (r=0.8434, p=0.034) and sweetened beverages (r=0.8436, p=0.034). This correlation was not significant for beer sales (r=0.7980, p=0.057) [Table 1].Table 1.Correlation between the number of gout cases and sales of different types of drinksVariablesCorrelation coefficient (r)pBeer0.79800.0571Liquor0.84340.0349*Sweetened beverages0.84360.0348*Water-0.75690.0815Figure 1.Evolution of Gout cases from 2018 to 2020The COVID-19 PCR test was negative in all patients.ConclusionThe real “outbreak” of gout observed during the curfew related to COVID-19 between May and November 2020 was favored by a punctual increase in the consumption of liquors and sweetened drinks.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared |
