In this episode of Arthritis At Home, we are sharing the #CRArthritis interview with Ms. Kara Irwin, research trainee at Arthritis Research Canada working under the supervision of Dr. Cheryl Barnabe. Kara looks at how higher rates and frequencies of emergency visits and hospitalizations for patients with inflammatory arthritis and gout have negative impacts for both patient health outcomes and healthcare costs.
