Hyperuricemia is a Risk Factor for One-Year Overall Survival in Elderly Female Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Background Hyperuricemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, but the impact of hyperuricemia and sex-related disparities is not fully clear in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Objective To investigate the association between hyperuricemia and 1-year all-cause mortality in elderly patients with ACS. Methods This retrospective cohort study included 711 consecutive ACS patients aged ≥75 years, hospitalized in our center between January 2013 and December 2017. Serum uric acid (sUA), in-hospital events, and 1-year follow-up were analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to explore the risk factors for in-hospital events and 1-year all-cause mortality. Results sUA levels were higher in males than in females (381.4 ± 110.1 vs. 349.3 ± 119.1 μmol/l, P < 0.001). Prevalence of hypertension (80.5% vs. 72.6%, P < 0.001). Prevalence of hypertension (80.5% vs. 72.6%, P < 0.001). Prevalence of hypertension (80.5% vs. 72.6%, P < 0.001). Prevalence of hypertension (80.5% vs. 72.6%, P < 0.001). Prevalence of hypertension (80.5% vs. 72.6%, P < 0.001). Prevalence of hypertension (80.5% vs. 72.6%, P < 0.001). Prevalence of hypertension (80.5% vs. 72.6%, P < 0.001). Prevalence of hypertension (80.5% vs. 72.6%, P < 0.001). Prevalence of hypertension (80.5% vs. 72.6%. Conclusions Hyperuricemia is an independent risk factor for 1-year all-cause mortality in elderly female patients with ACS.
