Yet the validity of self-reported gout is uncertain. We evaluated the reliability and sensitivity of the self-report of physician-diagnosed gout in the Campaign Against Cancer and Heart Disease (CLUE II) and the Atherosclerosis Risk in the Community (ARIC) cohorts.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods.<\/jats:title><jats:p>The CLUE II cohort comprises 12,912 individuals who self-reported gout status on either the 2000, 2003, or 2007 questionnaires. We calculated reliability as the percentage of participants reporting having gout on more than 1 questionnaire using Cohen\u2019s \u03ba statistic. The ARIC cohort comprises 11,506 individuals who self-reported gout status at visit 4. We considered a hospital discharge diagnosis of gout or use of a gout-specific medication as the standard against which to calculate the sensitivity of self-reported, physician-diagnosed gout.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 437 CLUE II participants who self-reported physician-diagnosed gout in 2000, and subsequently answered the 2003 questionnaire, 75% reported gout in 2003 (\u03ba = 0.73). Of the 271 participants who reported gout in 2000, 73% again reported gout at the 2007 followup questionnaire (\u03ba = 0.63). In ARIC, 196 participants met the definition for gout prior to visit 4 and self-reported their gout status at visit 4. The sensitivity of a self-report of physician-diagnosed gout was 84%. Accuracy was similar across sex and race subgroups, but differed across hyperuricemia and education strata.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion.<\/jats:title><jats:p>These 2 population-based US cohorts suggest that self-report of physician-diagnosed gout has good reliability and sensitivity. Thus, self-report of a physician diagnosis of gout is appropriate for epidemiologic studies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3899\/jrheum.100418","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,2]],"date-time":"2010-12-02T00:19:23Z","timestamp":1291249163000},"page":"135-141","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":83,"title":["Reliability and Sensitivity of the Self-report of Physician-diagnosed Gout in the Campaign Against Cancer and Heart Disease and the Atherosclerosis Risk in the Community Cohorts"],"prefix":"10.3899","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"MARA A.","family":"McADAMS","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JANET W.","family":"MAYNARD","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ALAN N.","family":"BAER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ANNA","family":"K\u00d6TTGEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"SANDRA","family":"CLIPP","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JOSEF","family":"CORESH","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ALLAN C.","family":"GELBER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2262","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2018112909254908000_38.1.135.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.23176"},{"key":"2018112909254908000_38.1.135.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.1780200320"},{"key":"2018112909254908000_38.1.135.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.1997.00440340060005"},{"key":"2018112909254908000_38.1.135.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa035700"},{"key":"2018112909254908000_38.1.135.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.62.7.644"},{"key":"2018112909254908000_38.1.135.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/B:EJEP.0000027350.85974.47"},{"key":"2018112909254908000_38.1.135.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.22474"},{"key":"2018112909254908000_38.1.135.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(86)90837-8"},{"key":"2018112909254908000_38.1.135.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.31.3.166"},{"key":"2018112909254908000_38.1.135.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archneurol.2009.83"},{"key":"2018112909254908000_38.1.135.11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-5415.2004.52021.x"},{"key":"2018112909254908000_38.1.135.12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1991.03470210072035"},{"key":"2018112909254908000_38.1.135.13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0895-4356(97)00101-7"},{"key":"2018112909254908000_38.1.135.14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.2004.024091"}],"container-title":["The Journal of Rheumatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/syndication.highwire.org\/content\/doi\/10.3899\/jrheum.100418","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,29]],"date-time":"2018-11-29T12:51:01Z","timestamp":1543495861000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.jrheum.org\/lookup\/doi\/10.3899\/jrheum.100418"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,1]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2011,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.3899\/jrheum.100418"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3899\/jrheum.100418","relation":{},"ISSN":["0315-162X","1499-2752"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0315-162X","type":"print"},{"value":"1499-2752","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,1]]}}}
