Abstract
Background To investigate the causal associations of serum urate (SUA) with stroke risk and prognosis using Mendelian randomization (MR) and the potential mediating role of stroke risk factors in the causal pathways. Methods We used the random-effects inverse variance weighting (IVW) as our primary method. We initially performed two-sample univariable MR (UVMR) to identify the causal associations of SUA (n = 437,354) with any stroke (AS, FinnGen: n = 311,635; MEGASTROKE: n = 446,696), ischemic stroke (IS, FinnGen: n = 212,774; MEGASTROKE: n = 440,328), intracranial hemorrhage (ICH, FinnGen: n = 343,663; ISGC: n = 3,026), functional outcome after ischemic stroke at 90d (n = 4,363), and motor recovery within 24 months after stroke (n = 488), and then multivariable MR (MVMR) to estimate the direct causal effects of SUA on these outcomes, adjusting for potential confounders. Finally, we further conducted a two-step MR to investigate the potential mediating role of body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in the identified causal pathways. Results Genetically predicted elevated SUA levels were significantly associated with increased risk of AS (meta-analysis: OR = 1.09, 95% CI [1.04-1.13], p = 3.69e-05) and IS (meta-analysis: OR = 1.10, 95% CI [1.01-1.19], p = 0.021) and with improved poor functional outcome after ischemic stroke at 90d (OR = 0.81, 95% CI [0.72-0.90], p = 1.79e-04) and motor recovery within 24 months after stroke (OR = 1.42, 95% CI [1.23-1.64], p = 2.15e-06). In MVMR, SBP and DBP significantly attenuated the causal effects of SUA on AS, IS, and functional outcome after ischemic stroke at 90d and motor recovery within 24 months after stroke. Further mediation analyses showed that SBP mediated 52.4 and 34.5% of the effects of SUA on AS and IS, while DBP mediated 28.5 and 23.4% of the causal effects, respectively. Conclusion This study supports the dual role of genetically predicted SUA in increasing stroke risk, especially ischemic stroke risk, and in improving functional outcome and motor recovery. SBP and DBP are key mediators lying on the causal pathways of SUA with AS and IS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The potential benefits or harms of intensive systolic blood pressure (BP) control on cognitive function and cerebral blood flow in individuals with low diastolic blood pressure (DBP) remain unclear. METHODS We conducted a post hoc analysis of the SPRINT MIND (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial Memory and Cognition in Decreased Hypertension) that randomly assigned hypertensive participants to an intensive (<120 mm Hg; n=4278) or standard (<140 mm Hg; n=4385) systolic blood pressure target. We evaluated the effects of BP intervention on cognitive outcomes and cerebral blood flow across baseline DBP quartiles. RESULTS Participants in the intensive group had a lower incidence rate of probable dementia or mild cognitive impairment than those in the standard group, regardless of DBP quartiles. The hazard ratio of intensive versus standard target for probable dementia or mild cognitive impairment was 0.91 (95% CI, 0.73-1.12) in the lowest DBP quartile and 0.70 (95% CI, 0.48-1.02) in the highest DBP quartile, respectively, with an interaction P value of 0.24. Similar results were found for probable dementia (interaction P=0.06) and mild cognitive impairment (interaction P=0.80). The effect of intensive treatment on cerebral blood flow was not modified by baseline DBP either (interaction P=0.25). Even among participants within the lowest DBP quartile, intensive versus standard BP treatment resulted in an increasing trend of annualized change in cerebral blood flow (+0.26 [95% CI, -0.72 to 1.24] mL/[100 g·min]). CONCLUSIONS Intensive BP control did not appear to have a detrimental effect on cognitive outcomes and cerebral perfusion in patients with low baseline DBP. REGISTRATION URL: https://www.
