• It was with great interest that we read the letter from Watson and colleagues1 describing their investigation of how a primary care diagnosis of gout compares to a primary care diagnostic rule for gout and the 1977 American Rheumatism Association (ARA) classification criteria of acute arthritis of primary gout. They present positive predictive values (PPV) of 74% for the diagnostic rule and 80% for the ARA criteria.
