| Abstract |
The aim of this review was to qualitatively synthesise studies that have investigated characteristics of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (1(st) MTP) in gout and to undertake a meta-analysis to estimate the average prevalence of acute 1(st) MTP arthritis across studies in people with gout. Studies published in English were included if they involved participants who had a diagnosis of gout and presented original findings relating to the following outcome measures associated with the 1(st) MTP: epidemiology; clinical features; structural and functional characteristics; and microscopic and imaging features. Forty-five studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. 1(st) MTP pain was a prominent feature in people with gout. People with 1(st) MTP gout reported walking- and general-disability. Structural and functional characteristics of 1(st) MTP gout included hallux valgus, osteoarthritis, and restricted joint motion. Successful crystal aspiration ranged from 81 to 91 % and positive crystal identification via microscopy ranged from 83 to 93 % in patients with a history of 1(st) MTP gout. Imaging features were common at the 1(st) MTP including the double contour sign, tophi and erosions. Eleven studies involving 2,325 participants were included in the meta-analysis, providing an estimate of the average prevalence of acute 1(st) MTP arthritis across studies of 73 % (95 % prediction interval 40-92 %; range 48-97 %; I(2) = 93 %). 1(st) MTP acute arthritis is highly prevalent in people with gout and has a substantial impact on patient-reported pain and disability. Gout affects the structure and function of the 1(st) MTP. Microscopic and imaging studies have demonstrated crystal deposition and joint damage at the 1(st) MTP in people with gout. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 August 2022.
All research outputs
#4,589,007
of 24,514,423 outputs
Outputs from BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
#897
of 4,290 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#77,354
of 409,988 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
#21
of 81 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,514,423 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 81st percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,290 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 409,988 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 81 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
