Table 3.

Association of hyperuricaemia with other outcomes in propensity-matched patients

	Events (%)		Absolute risk difference (%)^a	Hazard ratio (95% confidence interval)	P-value
	Normal uric acid^b (n = 630)	High uric acid^c (n = 630)	Absolute risk difference (%)^a	Hazard ratio (95% confidence interval)	P-value
Cardiovascular mortality	153 (24%)	178 (28%)	+4	1.48 (1.13–1.95)	0.005
Heart failure mortality	53 (8%)	61 (10%)	+2	1.41 (0.86–2.31)	0.175
Sudden cardiac death	84 (13%)	96 (15%)	+2	1.44 (1.01–2.05)	0.042
All-cause hospitalization	380 (60%)	415 (66%)	+6	1.23 (1.03–1.48)	0.023

^aAbsolute differences in event rates were calculated by subtracting the event rates in the high uric acid group from the event rates in the normal uric acid group (before values were rounded).

^bNormal uric acid is defined as serum uric acid of ≤6 mg/dL for women and ≤8 mg/dL for men.

^cHigh uric acid is defined as serum uric acid of >6 mg/dL for women and >8 mg/dL for men.
