Serum uric acid (UA) levels and survival in CHF patients. A recent study in 294 chronic heart failure patients indicates a graded relationship between serum uric acid levels and survival. The plots show Kaplan-Meier survival curves and hazard ratios for different serum uric acid levels. Patients with normal UA (400 μM) had best survival (at 12 months, 93%) compared with patients with UA between 401 and 600 μM [87%, risk ratio [RR] 1.76 (1.11 to 2.78)], patients with UA between 601 and 800 μM [RR 6.27 (3.73 to 10.54)], and patients with UA >800 μM [17%, RR 18.53 (9.18 to 37.42)].
