Monosodium urate burden assessed with dual-energy computed tomography predicts the risk of flares in gout: a 12-month observational study

Table 4 Odds ratios for the risk of presenting with at least one flare during follow up between each time point

Time period	Group	Number	M0 DECT MSU volume feet (cm³)	OR	(95% CI for OR)
M0–M6	0 flares	33	0.9 ± 1.3	1.69	(1.17–2.77)
M0–M6	≥ 1 flare	19	2.4 ± 2.1	1.69	(1.17–2.77)
M6–M12	0 flares	25	1.4 ± 1.7	1.13	(0.74–1.71)
M6–M12	≥ 1 flare	12	1.8 ± 1.7	1.13	(0.74–1.71)
