The association between serum uric acid / serum creatinine ratio and in-hospital outcomes in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The role of Serum uric acid (SUA) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was controversial, which might be influenced by the renal clearance function of the patients. The present study aimed to explore the association between serum uric acid to serum creatinine ratio (SUA/Scr), reflecting a net production of SUA, and the in-hospital outcomes of elderly patients with AMI.

Methods

In this retrospective study, a total of 330 elderly AMI patients (≥ 75 years) were enrolled. Data of SUA and Scr on admission were collected to calculate SUA/Scr ratio. Logistic regression analysis and receiver-operating curves were performed to assess the association between SUA/Scr ratio and in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and all-cause death.
