Abstract:
Objective:To explore whether hyperuricemia was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation.Methods:Patients with atrial fibrillation who were confirmed by 12-lead electrocardiogram in 11 hospitals of Kailuan Group from 2006 to 2007 were selected as the research objects.All patients were followed up by prospective cohort study, and all-cause deaths were observed.The last follow-up time was December 31, 2013.Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox proportional hazards model were used to analyze and compare the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation in the hyperuricemia group compared with the normal uric acid group.Results:A total of 388 community-based patients with atrial fibrillation were included in the final statistical analysis, with 136 all-cause deaths occurred during an average follow-up period of 6.93 years.The incidence of all-cause mortality was 9.24% per year(36/390)in the hyperuricemia group, whereas 5.16% per year(100/1 937) in the normal uric acid group.In the univariate Cox proportional risk model analysis, the risk ratio (95% CI) of all-cause death in patients with atrial fibrillation in the hyperuricemia group (95% CI) was 1.84(1.26-2.69) times that in the normal uric acid group ( P<0.01). After adjusting for potential confounding variables, the adjusted risk ratio (95% CI) of all-cause death in patients with atrial fibrillation in hyperuricemia group was still 1.94(1.32-2.85) times of that in normal uric acid group ( P<0.01). After adjustment for potential confounding variables, for each 0.01 g/L increase in uric acid (1 g/L=5 950 μmol/L), the risk of all-cause death in patients with atrial fibrillation increased by 1.15 (1.05-1.26) times ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Hyperuricemia was an independent risk factor for all-cause death in patients with atrial fibrillation in community.
