Previous studies have reported that thyroid dysfunction is associated with increased serum uric acid levels; however, the relationship between hyperthyroidism and incidence of clinical manifestations of gout has not been fully investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to longitudinally investigate the risk of gout in patients with hyperthyroidism. This nationwide retrospective cohort study used data from the Korean National Health Claims Database. We included 76,494 patients with hyperthyroidism and 76,542 age- and sex-matched controls. A Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to adjust for potential confounders and estimate the risk of incident gout in patients with hyperthyroidism. During a mean follow-up of 9 years, incident gout developed in 3,655 (4.8%) patients with hyperthyroidism and 3251 (4.2%) controls. Hyperthyroidism was significantly associated with increased risk of incident gout [adjusted hazard ratio (HR), 1.12; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07-1.18], independent of baseline metabolic profiles. The median time from the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism to the development of gout was 6 years. When stratified by age and sex, the risk of gout was still significant in the < 50-year age group (HR: 1.2, 95% CI 1.12-1.29) and males (HR: 1.21, 95% CI 1.12-1.30), but not in the older age group (> 50 years) and females. Hyperthyroidism is an important risk factor for incident gout, particularly in younger age groups (< 50 years) and males. Our results highlight the importance of continuous screening for gout in patients with hyperthyroidism.
