Associations between the different UA groups and all-cause and CVD-related mortality.
| Characteristics | HR (95% CI) and P-value | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unadjusted | P-value | Multivariable-adjusted | P-value | |
| All-Cause Mortality | ||||
| Low UA group | 1.42 (1.08–2.47) | 0.012 | 1.24 (1.03–2.12) | 0.027 |
| High UA group | 1.25 (1.06–2.51) | 0.017 | 1.09 (1.05–2.08) | 0.012 |
| CVD-related Mortality | ||||
| Low UA group | 1.36 (0.97–2.98) | 0.012 | 1.09 (0.95–2.42) | 0.096 |
| High UA group | 1.18 (0.95–2.71) | 0.017 | 1.02 (0.98–2.68) | 0.072 |
HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; UA, uric acid; and CVD, cardiovascular disease. Different UA groups, low (<5.0 mg/dL), reference (5–7 mg/dL), and high (>7.0 mg/dL) UA groups; the reference group as reference. The model adjusted for age, sex, dialysis vintage, diabetes mellitus, body mass index, lean tissue index, Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, hemoglobin, albumin, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, total cholesterol, triglyceride, serum creatinine, and UA-lowering agents.
