What this Trial Is About
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether nurse-led telehealth support helps individuals with gout better manage their condition and adhere to urate-lowering medication after discharge from a rheumatology clinic. Eligible patients will be recruited from five rheumatology departments in the Central Denmark Region after achieving two consecutive target serum urate levels-below 0.36 mmol/L, or below 0.30 mmol/L for patients with tophi. Participants will be adults with gout who meet specific medical criteria, are taking medications such as allopurinol or Adenuric, and are able to read and write Danish. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: * Intervention group: nurse-led telehealth support. * Control group: usual care with follow-up by their general practitioner. The primary goal is to support patients in maintaining healthy uric acid levels after 52 weeks. Participants in the nurse-led group have the option to choose from four support options: I1: App-Based Support - an app provides information and reminders. I2: Letter Reminders - messages are sent via digital or postal mail. I3: Text Reminders - SMS messages are sent every three months. I4: Phone Support - nurses call three times a year to check in.
