Цель исследования – вычисление индекса коморбидности Charlson у пациентов с подагрой и оценка его связи с некоторыми особенностями течения заболевания. Материалы и методы. В сплошное неконтролируемое одномоментное исследование включено 150 больных подагрой (из них 137 мужчин (91,3%)) из числа амбулаторных пациентов. Рассчитывался индекс коморбидности Charlson по методике, предложенной M.E. Charlson. Выделены две группы пациентов: с высокой (индекс коморбидности – более 5 баллов) и умеренной коморбидностью (5 баллов и менее). Результаты. Среди наиболее часто встречающихся коморбидных состояний отмечались артериальная гипертензия (73,3%), дислипидемия (63,3%), ожирение (49,3%), неалкогольная жировая болезнь печени (34,0%), хроническая болезнь почек 3-й стадии и выше (22,7%), ишемическая болезнь сердца (21,3%), сахарный диабет 2-го типа (16,7%). Медиана индекса Charlson у пациентов с подагрой составила 4 балла. У 37 больных (24,7%) наблюдалась высокая, а у 113 пациентов (75,3%) – умеренная коморбидность. Обнаружены статистически значимые положительные связи индекса Charlson с возрастом дебюта подагры (r = 0,55), ее длительностью (r = 0,37), максимальным уровнем мочевой кислоты в крови в течение заболевания (r = 0,24), количеством вовлеченных суставов (r = 0,38), рентгенологической стадией подагрического артрита (r = 0,39). Нарастание индекса коморбидности Charlson сопровождалось достоверным увеличением уровня мочевой кислоты в крови (р = 0,048). У пациентов с высокой коморбидностью выявлены бо́льшая длительность заболевания (11 лет [5; 17] против 6 лет [3; 10], р = 0,005) и более высокие значения урикемии (618,6±110,5 мкмоль/л против 567,8±139,8 мкмоль/л, р = 0,010), чаще отмечались хронизация артрита (р2 = 0,003), формирование подкожных тофусов (р2 = 0,003), увеличение количества вовлеченных суставов (4 [3; 5] против 2 [2; 4], р = 0,003) и частоты подагрических атак (3 [2; 4] против 2 [1; 3], р = 0,009). Пациентам с высокой коморбидностью аллопуринол назначался достоверно чаще (р2 = 0,018). Выводы. У пациентов с подагрой выявлена высокая частота коморбидной патологии, среди которой доминировали артериальная гипертензия, дислипидемия, ожирение и хроническая болезнь почек. Применение индекса Charlson позволило не только количественно оценить тяжесть коморбидного фона (медиана индекса составила 4 балла), но и выявить его взаимосвязь с клиническими особенностями заболевания: высокая коморбидность (более 5 баллов), зарегистрированная у каждого четвертого пациента (24,7%), ассоциировалась с более агрессивным течением подагры.</p></abstract><abstract xml:lang="en" abstract-type="summary"><p>Gout is currently considered as a systemic metabolic disease associated with a wide range of comorbid conditions that not only determine the patients' quality of life, but significantly limit its duration as well. The aim of the study was to calculate the Charlson comorbidity index in patients with gout and to assess its relationship with some features of the course of the disease. Materials and methods. 150 patients with gout (137 of them were men (91.3%)) from among outpatient patients were included in a continuous uncontrolled cross sectional study. The Charlson comorbidity index was calculated using the method proposed by M.E. Charlson. Two groups of patients were identified: those with high comorbidity (comorbidity index – more than 5 points) and moderate comorbidity (5 points or less). Results. Among the most common comorbid conditions, arterial hypertension (73.3%), dyslipidemia (63.3%), obesity (49.3%), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (34.0%), chronic kidney disease stage 3 and higher (22.7%), coronary heart disease (21.3%), diabetes mellitus Type 2 (16.7%) were noted. The median of the Charlson index in patients with gout was 4 points. In 37 patients (24.7%) high comorbidity and in 113 patients (75.3%) moderate comorbidity were observed. Statistically significant positive associations of the Charlson index with the age of gout onset (r = 0.55), its duration (r = 0.37), the maximum level of uric acid in the blood during the disease (r = 0.24), the number of involved joints (r = 0.38), and the radiological stage of gouty arthritis (r = 0.39) were found. An increase in the Charlson comorbidity index was accompanied by a significant increase in the level of uric acid in the blood (p = 0.048). Patients with high comorbidity were revealed to have a longer duration of gout (11 years [5; 17] versus 6 years [3; 10], p = 0.005) and higher values of uricemia (618.6±110.5 mmol/l versus 567.8±139.8 mmol/L, p = 0.010), arthritis chronification was more common (р2 = 0.003), as well as formation of subcutaneous tophi (р2 = 0,003), an increase in the number of involved joints (4 [3; 5] vs. 2 [2; 4], p = 0.003) and the frequency of gouty attacks (3 [2; 4] vs. 2 [1; 3], р = 0.009). Allopurinol was significantly more frequently prescribed to patients with high comorbidity (р2 = 0.018). Conclusions. A high prevalence of comorbid conditions was observed in patients with gout, with hypertension, dyslipidaemia, obesity and chronic kidney disease being the most common. The use of the Charlson index made it possible not only to quantify the severity of the comorbid background (the median index was 4 points), but also to identify its relationship with the clinical features of the disease. High comorbidity (more than 5 points), registered in every fourth patient (24.7%), was associated with a more aggressive course of gout.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>подагра</kwd><kwd>гиперурикемия</kwd><kwd>коморбидные заболевания</kwd><kwd>индекс коморбидности Charlson</kwd><kwd>аллопуринол</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>gout</kwd><kwd>hyperuricemia</kwd><kwd>comorbid diseases</kwd><kwd>Charlson comorbidity index</kwd><kwd>allopurinol</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><ref id="ref1"><mixed-citation publication-type="other" xml:lang="ru">Елисеев М.С., Желябина О.В.
