2.4‐Year Major Adverse Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events According to Serum Uric Acid Tertiles in Patients With Different Numbers of SMuRFs

No. SMuRFs Group Event, n (%) Crude HR (95% CI) Adjusted HR (95% CI)
0–1 Low uric acid 63 (7.2) 1 (reference) 1 (reference)
Medium uric acid 80 (10.2) 1.444 (1.038–2.009)* 1.478 (1.012–2.160)*
High uric acid 78 (12.6) 1.359 (1.151–1.604)* 1.469 (1.197–1.804)*
Per 1 mg/dL increase 221 (9.7) 1.157 (1.056–1.269)* 1.207 (1.082–1.347)*
2–3 Low uric acid 254 (11.4) 1 (reference) 1 (reference)
Medium uric acid 259 (11.3) 0.998 (0.840–1.187) 0.957 (0.788–1.162)
High uric acid 317 (13.1) 1.087 (1.000–1.180)* 1.057 (0.958–1.167)
Per 1 mg/dL increase 830 (12.0) 1.057 (1.008–1.132)* 1.044 (0.988–1.104)
4 Low uric acid 57 (14.6) 1 (reference) 1 (reference)
Medium uric acid 63 (15.0) 1.038 (0.725–1.485) 0.983 (0.665–1.453)
High uric acid 62 (13.7) 0.972 (0.812–1.163) 0.971 (0.795–1.185)
Per 1 mg/dL increase 182 (14.4) 0.980 (0.888–1.082) 0.979 (0.877–1.092)

Adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, previous myocardial infarction, previous stroke, acute coronary syndrome, systolic blood pressure, triglyceride, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, minimum stent diameter, total stent length, and use of statin at discharge. HR indicates hazard ratio; and SMuRFs, standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors.
