Sex differences between serum uric acid levels and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease after stent implantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels and cardiovascular outcomes after stent implantation remains uncertain. This study sought to evaluate the impact of SUA on 12-month cardiovascular outcomes after stent implantation.

Methods

We performed a retrospective study of patients who successfully underwent stent implantation and enrolled 3,222 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) from a single center. SUA levels were measured before stent implantation. The patients were divided into six groups (<4, 4-4.9, 5-5.9, 6-6.9, 7-7.9 and ≥ 8 mg/dL) at SUA intervals of 1.0 mg/dL. The incidence of cardiovascular outcomes in the six groups was monitored for 1 year after stent implantation and the hazard ratios were estimated. Hazard ratios (HRs) and
