Objective.The aim of this study was to evaluate which concepts about gout and its treatment are reflected in images in online educational resources about gout.Methods.A Google search was performed to identify English-language patient resources from medical and health organizations and health education websites in 7 countries: Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, UK, and USA. Two raters independently coded the images in the resources into 5 main categories: clinical presentations of gout, urate/monosodium urate (MSU) crystals, medicines, food/healthy lifestyle, and other advice for people with gout.Results.In total, 103 resources were identified; 28 resources without images were excluded. Seventy-one educational resources with a total of 310 images were included in the study sample. Of the 310 images, clinical presentations of gout were depicted in 92 images (30%), food/healthy lifestyle in 73 images (24%), urate/MSU crystals in 50 (16%), medicines in 14 (5%). Urate-lowering medication was shown only in 1 image (0.3%) and just 6 images (2%) depicted a serum urate target. Ninety-one images (29%) did not convey specific information about gout.Conclusion.Key concepts about gout and treatment are underrepresented in the images used in educational resources for patients. A large proportion of the images do not convey useful information about gout or its management.
