Abstract: Objective Study on the cognition status of doctors' diagnosis and treatment of gout in the outer suburbs of Pudong,Provide targeted gout management mode and re education content. Methods General practitioners in 12 community hospitals in the outer suburbs of Pudong were surveyed with questionnaires about gout diagnosis and treatment,The differences of doctors on gout concept, treatment plan and diagnosis and treatment norms were analyzed by factors such as professional title and education background. Results Among the general practitioners surveyed in the suburban areas,84.28% had bachelor degree or above, 85.53% had intermediate professional title or above, 51.57% were 41-50 years old, and only 3.78% were doctors under 30 years old. Attention should be paid to the construction of talent echelon.There is no difference in the concept of gout among doctors with different professional titles, but there are differences in the diagnosis and treatment norms among doctors with different educational backgrounds (P<0.05). The cases in the outer suburbs and rural areas are rich, but 50.31% of the doctors recommended that hyperuricemia patients choose long-term uric acid lowering treatment.Due to the differences in medical facilities and drug allocation,there are shortcomings in the standardization of treatment scheme. Conclusion At present,general practitioners in the outer suburbs of Pudong have a high understanding of the basic concepts and diagnosis and treatment norms of gout, but there are deficiencies in the drug treatment of gout. It is necessary for community clinical pharmacists to give pharmaceutical care intervention to improve the medication compliance of patients, and further improve the prognosis and quality of life.
