The Gout Code clinical items of the three criterion sets were assessed in a population of 30 patients with crystal-proven gout and 52 healthy participants. The results showed sensitivity ranging between 67 and 70% and specificity ranging from 79 to 86% [16]. As a result, the sensitivity and specificity of each of the previously stated criteria were insufficient (in the absence of MSU crystal identification).
