Factors associated with achieving target serum uric acid level and occurrence of gouty arthritis: A retrospective observational study of Japanese health insurance claims data

Ruriko Koto et al.

Summary: This study examined factors associated with achieving target serum uric acid (sUA) levels and gouty arthritis in Japanese clinical practice. The findings suggest that older, female patients with higher urate-lowering therapy doses, better adherence, more comorbidities, and/or antidiabetic drug prescriptions were more likely to achieve target sUA. However, renal dysfunction and diuretic prescriptions were linked to reduced likelihood of achieving target sUA levels. Patients with a history of gouty arthritis occurrence were more likely to experience it again, while better adherence to urate-lowering therapy and regular sUA monitoring may help in managing gouty arthritis occurrences.

Trends and patterns in antibiotic prescribing for adult outpatients with acute upper respiratory tract infection in Japan, 2008-2018

Lyu Ji et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the patterns and trends of major oral antibiotics prescribed for adult outpatients with AURTIs in Japan from 2008 to 2018. The prescribing rate of antibiotics decreased significantly, especially after the implementation of the national action plan on antimicrobial resistance in 2016. While most prescribed antibiotics were broad-spectrum, there was a higher rate of increase in the use of penicillins since 2016.
