| n | UA (mg/dl) | P value∗ | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Subtype of EOCAD | |||
| SAP | 101 | 5.554 ± 1.419 | P SAP vs.MI < 0.05 |

| MI | 633 | 5.880 ± 1.479 | P SAP vs.UAP < 0.05 |
| Number of diseased vessels in MI | |||
| 1-vessel disease | 326 | 5.783 ± 1.411 | P 1 vs.2 > 0.05 |
| 2-vessel disease | 199 | 5.799 ± 1.503 | P 1 vs.3 < 0.01 |

EOCAD: early-onset coronary artery disease; UA: uric acid; SAP: stable angina; UAP: unstable angina; MI: myocardial infarction. ∗The P value was calculated by one-way ANOVA.
