Visit-to-visit variability of serum uric acid measurements and the risk of all-cause mortality in the general population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence on longitudinal variability of serum uric acid (SUA) and risk of all-cause mortality in the general population is limited, as many prior studies focused on a single measurement of SUA.

Methods

A total of 53,956 participants in the Kailuan study who underwent three health examinations during 2006 to 2010 were enrolled. Variability of SUA was measured using the coefficient of variation (primary index), standard deviation, average real variability, and variability independent of the mean. Cox proportional hazard regressions were used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association of variability of SUA with subsequent risk of all-cause mortality, considering its magnitude and the direction and across different baseline SUA categories.

Results

Over a median follow-up of 7.04?years, 2728 participants died. The highest variability of SUA was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality, the HR was 1.33 (95% CI, 1.20-1.49) compared with the lowest variability. In this group, both a large fall (HR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.14-1.44) and rise (HR, 1.18; 95% 1.05-1.32) in SUA were related to risk of all-cause mortality. These associations were similar across different baseline SUA categories. Consistent results were observed in alternative measures of SUA variability. Moreover, individuals with higher variability in SUA were more related to common risk factors than those with stable SUA.

Conclusions

Higher variability in SUA was independently associated with the risk of all-cause mortality irrespective of baseline SUA and direction of variability in the general population.

Project description:Objective:There is no consensus on the role of abnormal uric acid (UA) levels in the prognosis of patients undergoing hemodialysis. We therefore aimed to investigate the effects of changes in UA concentration on the risk of all-cause death and cardiac death in such patients. Method:In this retrospective cohort study, patients admitted to two hemodialysis centers performing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) in Wuhan First Hospital and Fourth Hospital Hemodialysis Center from January 1, 2007, to October 31, 2017, were included. Results:In all, 325 patients undergoing MHD aged 59.7 ± 14.7 years, including 195 men (60%), were enrolled, with a median follow-up of 37 months. Serum UA (p < 0.001) was significantly higher in the surviving group than in the death group. No significant difference was found in UA variability (p < 0.001) was significantly higher in the surviving group than in the death group. No significant difference was found in UA variability (p < 0.001) was significantly higher in the surviving group than in the death group. No significant difference was found in UA variability (p < 0.001) was significantly higher in the surviving group than in the death group. No significant difference was found in UA variability (p < 0.001) was significantly higher in the surviving group than in the death group. No significant difference was found in UA variability (p < 0.001) was significantly higher in the surviving group than in the death group. No significant difference was found in UA variability (p < 0.001) was significantly higher in the surviving group than in the death group. No significant difference was found in UA variability (p < 0.001) was significantly higher in the surviving group than in the death group. No significant difference was found in UA variability (. Conclusion:Low UA levels were closely related to all-cause mortality in patients undergoing MHD. Although UA levels had no significant effect on cardiac death, they had a good predictive value for long-term prognosis in patients on MHD.

Project description:BackgroundMany of the existing research studies have shown that serum uric acid (SUA) is a predictor of renal disease progression. More recently, studies have suggested an association between renal function-normalized SUA and all-cause mortality in adults. This study aims to examine the association between the ratio of SUA to creatinine (SUA/Cr) and all-cause mortality with a focus on hypertensive patients.MethodsThis study is based on 2,017 participants, of whom 916 were male (mean age, 67 ± 11 years) and 1,101 were female (mean age, 69 ± 9 years). All participants were part of the Nomura Cohort Study in 2002 (cohort 1) and 2014 (cohort 2), as well as the follow-up period (2002 follow-up rate, 94.8%; 2014 follow-up rate, 98.0%). We obtained adjusted relative risk estimates for all-cause mortality from a basic resident register. In addition, we employed a Cox proportional hazards model and adjusted it for possible confounders to determine the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).ResultsOf the total participants, 639 (31.7%) were deceased; of these, 327 (35.7%) were male and 312 (28.3%) were female. We found an independent association between a higher ratio of SUA/Cr and a higher risk of all-cause mortality in female participants only (HR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.02-1.18). The multivariable-adjusted HRs (95% CI) for all-cause mortality across quintiles of baseline SUA/Cr were 1.28 (0.91-1.80), 1.00, 1.38 (0.95-1.98), 1.37 (0.94-2.00), and 1.57 (1.03-2.40) for male participants, and 0.92 (0.64-1.33), 1.00, 1.04 (0.72-1.50), 1.56 (1.06-2.30), and 1.59 (1.06-2.38) for female participants. When the data were further stratified on the basis of age (< 65 or ≥ 65 years), body mass index (< 22.0 or ≥ 22.0 kg/m2), estimated glomerular filtration rate (< 60 or ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2), and presence of SUA-lowering medication, trends similar to those of the full population were found in all groups.ConclusionBaseline SUA/Cr is independently and significantly associated with future all-cause mortality among hypertensive patients.
