On page 585, the sentence ‘The current treatment of gout appears to be suboptimal as seen by nearly half of the patients experiencing three or more gout flares (approximately five joint involvements per flare) per year despite >80% of the patients receiving a chronic uric acid lowering therapy with allopurinol’ should instead read ‘The current treatment of gout appears to be suboptimal as seen by nearly half of the patients experiencing three or more gout flares (approximately five joint involvements per flare) per year despite 54% of the patients receiving a chronic uric acid lowering therapy with allopurinol’. The authors would like to apologize for this error.
