dc.description.abstractBackground: Gouty arthritis is a prevalent but frequently misdiagnosed condition particularly in developing countries. As a medical expert pharmacists are essential to patient medication management, patient education, and treatment protocol adherence but insufficient information is present on related to gouty arthritis in Pakistan. Objective: The purpose of the study is to evaluate retail pharmacists (KAP) knowledge, attitude, practices regarding gouty arthritis in Lahore community pharmacies. It also examines the relationship between KAP scores and demographic characteristics finding gaps in pharmacist knowledge and treatment of arthritis. Methods: A study with a cross-sectional design was carried out on retail pharmacists working in community pharmacies throughout Lahore. Data on their knowledge attitude and practice regarding gouty arthritis were gathered using a structured questionnaire. The data were summarized using descriptive statistics. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test evaluated normality, in addition to measures of skewness and kurtosis. Statistical analysis involved Fishers exact test and the Chi-square test to ascertain relationships between KAP scores and demographic factors. Effect size was measured using Cramer's V and Phi-square. Results: There is no significant association between demographics of pharmacists and knowledge. There is no association between our study variables and attitude. The post-hoc comparison of p values of different demographics shows no association with the practice regarding gouty arthritis. Conclusion: Despite their generally positive attitudes toward patient care community pharmacists have a notable knowledge gap regarding gouty arthritis. Enhanced training and education are required to improve community pharmacies handling of gout. Limitation such as sample size and response bias should be addressed in future research.en_US
