Available data on the association between environmental hazards and gout are scarce. The present study was present to investigate the relationship between short-term exposure to air pollution and hospitalizations for acute gout from 2016 to 2020 in Anqing City, China.Methods: Daily records of hospital admissions for acute gout in Anqing from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2020 were retrieved from the tertiary first-class hospitals in Anqing. Air pollutants and meteorological data were obtained from the China Environmental Monitoring Station and China Meteorological Data Service Center respectively. We used a time-series analysis to explore the association between air pollution (NO2, O3, and CO) and hospitalizations for acute gout, and conducted stratified analyses by gender, age and season.Results: We observed an association between NO2 and hospitalizations for gout (lag 0, relative risk (RR):1.022, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.004– 1.041). For every 1 mg/m3 increase in CO concentration, hospitalizations for gout increased by 3.9% (lag 11 days, RR=1.039, 95% CI: 1.004– 1.076). Intriguingly, there was a negative association between O3 and hospitalizations for gout (lag0, RR=0.986, 95% CI: 0.976– 0.996). Stratified analyses showed that exposure to high levels of NO2 was considered to be more vulnerable to gout in cold season.Conclusion: Our study showed that short-term exposure to NO2 and CO has a significant effect on hospitalizations for acute gout.Keywords: gout, air pollutants, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozoneHe YSWang GHWu QWu ZDChen YTao JHFang XYXu ZPan HFDove Medical Pressarticlegoutair pollutantscarbon monoxidenitrogen dioxideozonePathologyRB1-214Therapeutics.
