Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the association between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and serum uric acid to serum creatinine (SUA/SCr) ratio in male gout patients at different BMIs. This real-world study included 956 male gout patients aged 18-83 years. We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of Chinese male gout patients from 2017 to 2019. The correlation between LDL-C and SUA/SCr was tested after adjusting for confounding factors. We found a nonlinear relationship between LDL-C and SUA/SCr in the whole study population. Stratification analysis showed that there was actually a nonlinear relationship between LDL-C and SUA/SCr in men with a BMI of 24-28, the inflection point of LDL-C was 1.8 mmol/L, when LDL-C was greater than 1.8 mmol/L, there was a positive correlation between LDL-C levels and SUA/SCr (β = 0.67, 95% CI 0.35-0.98, P < 0.001). Moreover, LDL-C showed a significant positive correlation with SUA/SCr with a BMI of 28 or greater (β = 0.30, 95% CI 0.05-0.55, P = 0.019). However, no association was found between LDL-C and SUA/SCr with a BMI of less than 24 (β = 0.42, 95% CI - 0.03-0.86, P = 0.070). LDL-C levels were associated with SUA/SCr in Chinese male gout patients, but this correlation appeared inconsistent among different BMIs. Our findings suggest that LDL-C levels may be more noteworthy in overweight and/or obese male gout patients.

Abstract
Background: To investigate retrospectively whether metabolic syndrome (MetS) of flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) lithotripsy can be used to predict post-operative infection. Patients and Methods: After screening, 1,110 patients who received fURS lithotripsy for upper urinary tract stones in our center between January 2015 and December 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into MetS-positive group and MetS-negative group. Post-operative infection was divided into fever, urosepsis, and septic shock. Relevant data during the peri-operative period were collected. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were adopted to estimate the impact of metabolic syndrome on post-operative infection in patients undergoing fURS lithotripsy. Results: Among the 1,110 patients, 427 tested positive for MetS, whereas 683 tested negative. Eighty-eight patients suffered from fever (67 patients in the MetS-positive group and 21 in the MetS-negative group). Forty-nine patients had urosepsis (29 patients in the MetS-positive group and 20 in the MetS-negative group), of whom seven patients developed septic shock. No patient developed multiple organ failure or died because of infection. The prevalence of post-operative infections in the MetS-positive group was higher than that in the MetS-negative group (p < 0.001). Multivariable logistic regression analyses showed that diabetes mellitus, MetS-positive, positive urine culture, and longer operation time were positively correlated with post-operative fever. Positive MetS, positive urine culture, and longer operation time were strongly correlated with post-operative urosepsis. Conclusions: Metabolic syndrome was found to be associated with post-operative infection in patients undergoing fURS lithotripsy, suggesting it can serve as a predictive factor.

Abstract
Background The study estimated the association between NAFLD and SUA/Cr in Chinese non-obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and also investigated mediating effect of TG. Methods All patients were divided into NAFLD group (n = 420) and non-NAFLD group (n = 347). The differences of biochemical indicators between the two groups were compared. The link between SUA/Cr and other parameters was checked through Spearman correlation analysis. Differences in the incidence rate of NAFLD between SUA/Cr and TG 3 tertile subgroups were tested by chi-squared. To explore the independent influence of SUA/Cr and TG on NAFLD, logistic regression was performed. The predictive value of SUA/Cr and SUA/Cr combined with BMI for NAFLD was analyzed using ROC curves. In addition, to confirm whether TG has a mediating effect on the link of SUA/Cr and NAFLD, we conducted a mediating analysis. Results NAFLD group had higher SUA/Cr values than individuals without NAFLD (P < 0.01). SUA/Cr was linked with TC and TG (r = 0.081, 0.215 respectively). NAFLD prevalence increased progressively from quartile 1 to quartile 3 of SUA/Cr (44% vs 57% vs 62%). Prevalence of NAFLD increased from quartile 1 to quartile 3 of TG (35.8% vs 58.7% vs 69.9%). Analysis of the logistic regression revealed that SUA/Cr and TG were statistically linked with NAFLD. The ROC curve pointed out that the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity of SUA/Cr were 0.59, 0.629 and 0.522, respectively. The AUC, sensitivity and specificity for SUA/Cr combined with BMI were 0.719, 0.644 and 0.677, separately. The mediation analysis showed a statistically direct effect of SUA/Cr on NAFLD (β=0.148, 95% CI: 0.0393, 0.2585). The function of SUA/Cr on NAFLD partially mediated by TG (β=0.1571, 95% CI: 0.0704, 0.2869). Conclusion SUA/Cr was significantly associated with NAFLD in non-obese T2DM patients, and TG partially mediated this association. SUA/Cr can be applied to predict for NAFLD.

High prevalence of hyperuricemia and the association with metabolic syndrome in the rural areas of Southwestern China: A structural equation modeling based on the Zhuang minority cohort. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2024; 34:497-505. [PMID: 38161122 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2023.06.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the Zhuang minority had not been examined. We aimed to determine the prevalence of HUA and MetS, and explore the interrelationship among the serum uric acid to creatinine (SUA/Cr) ratio, MetS, and its components. METHODS AND RESULTS A cross-sectional study was conducted with structured questionnaire and physical examination based on the Zhuang minority cohort. A Structural Equation Model was performed to examine the hypothesis link between the SUA/Cr ratio, MetS, and its components. 10,902 aged 35-74 years Zhuang minority adults were included. The total prevalence of HUA and MetS was 17.5% and 23.7%, respectively. The SUA/Cr ratio had a positive effect on MetS (the standardized coefficient βr was 0.311 in males and 0.401 in females). The SUA/Cr ratio was positively associated with obesity (βr = 0.215), dyslipidemia (βr = 0.177), and high blood pressure (βr = 0.034) in males and was positively associated with obesity (βr = 0.303), dyslipidemia (βr = 0.162), and hyperglycemia (βr = 0.036) in females. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of HUA in the aged 35-74 years Zhuang minority adults was high while the prevalence of MetS was relatively low. As HUA is an earlier-onset metabolic disorder and the SUA/Cr ratio had a positive effect on MetS and its components, the prevention measures of MetS should be strengthened. And the SUA/Cr ratio can be used as an early warning sign to implement the intervention measures of MetS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM It is very important to understand which factors play roles in switching from a healthy to an unhealthy metabolism. It is unclear if SUA/SCr is an independent risk factor for metabolic unhealthy phenotype. We examined whether SUA/SCr is associated with an increased risk for metabolic unhealthy phenotype in the Chinese population. METHODS AND RESULTS As many as 3158 subjects aged 25-75 years who had a metabolic healthy phenotype at baseline were included in the retrospective cohort study. They were assigned to four groups based on the quartile of SUA/SCr. We compared the demographic and clinical characteristics among the four groups. The correlation between SUA/SCr and the risk of metabolic unhealthy phenotype in the overall population and stratified by subgroups was examined by logistic regression analyses. Greater SUA/SCr values were correlated with greater BMI, systolic and diastolic BP, TC, TG, RBC, WBC, HB, ALT, SUA and eGFR. During the two-year follow-up, 632 of the study subjects (20.01%) developed new-onset metabolic unhealthy phenotype from the total of 3158 study subjects. A statistically significant increase in the rates of metabolic unhealthy phenotype was observed with increasing SUA/SCr levels within each group. After multivariate adjustment, the adjusted ORs and 95% CIs were 1.44 (1.03-2.00) and 2.11 (1.52-2.94) in the Q3 group and Q4 group, respectively. CONCLUSION SUA/SCr was positively related to the risk of metabolic unhealthy phenotype in the Chinese subjects, suggesting the potential of SUA/SCr to serve as an independent risk predictor in the development of metabolic unhealthy phenotype.

Abstract
Purpose Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a rising global concern with an increasing prevalence. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum uric acid to creatinine ratio (SUA/Cr) and MetS in adults with overweight/obesity in China. Patients and Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study comprising 4699 participants with overweight/obesity who underwent physical examinations. Their serum levels of various components, including total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), creatinine (Cr), and uric acid (UA) were measured. Renal function-normalized SUA was calculated using SUA/Cr. Logistic regression analysis was employed to investigate the association between SUA/Cr and MetS in adults with overweight/obesity. Results SUA/Cr levels were lower in non-MetS participants (OR: 2.159, 95% CI: 1.82 to 2.56; p < 0.001), and tended to rise with the increasing number of MetS components. Additionally, elevated SUA/Cr levels were associated with a higher risk of hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia. Conclusion SUA/Cr levels were significantly associated with MetS and its components in Chinese adults with overweight/obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Serum uric acid to creatinine ratio (SUA/Cr) may be associated with metabolic syndrome (MS). Here, we investigated the correlation between SUA/Cr and MS in Chinese residents aged ≥ 45 years. METHODS AND RESULTS Data were obtained from the 2015 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) database. MS was diagnosed using the Chinese Diabetes Society 2017 criteria. We grouped the population according to SUA/Cr quartiles and compared the index differences between groups. We used spearman correlation analysis and binary logistic regression. The possible dose-response association of SUA/Cr with MS were analyzed using restricted cubic spline model. Of 12,946 included participants, 3370 (26.0%) had MS, and 1900 (56.4%) were female. After adjusting for multiple confounders, binary logistic regression analysis showed that compared with Quartile 1, the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of the MS risk was 1.29 (1.09-1.52), 1.47 (1.25-1.74), and 1.80 (1.53-2.12) in Quartiles 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The restricted cubic spline model indicated a significant nonlinear dose-response association (Poverall < 0.001, Pnon-linearity = 0.029) between SUA/Cr and strength of MS prevalence association; MS risk began increasing when SUA/Cr > 6.22. CONCLUSIONS A significant positive correlation existed between SUA/Cr and MS risk in Chinese individuals aged ≥ 45 years, which may be a new predictive marker for MS risk.

Abstract
Background and aims Studies showed that elevated preoperative serum uric acid(SUA) levels are associated with recurrence of atrial fibrillation(AF) after catheter ablation. UA:creatinine ratio(UCR - UA normalised for renal function) has appeared as a new biomarker and is considered to reflect endogenous UA levels preferably because it eliminates the influence of renal function. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between UCR and recurrence of AF after catheter ablation. Methods and results A total of 233 consecutive patients with symptomatic, drug-refractory AF underwent catheter ablation. All participants underwent history-taking, physical examination and blood biochemistry analysis at baseline. After a mean follow-up of 23.99 ± 0.76 months, recurrence ratios for each UCR quartile (from lowest quartile to highest) were 10.9%, 23.6%, 23.6%, and 41.8%, respectively (P = 0.005). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that UCR was an independent predictor of AF recurrence (HR 1.217, 95%CI 1.008-1.468; P = 0.041). Subgroup analysis showed that UCR was associated with AF recurrence in paroxysmal AF (HR 1.426, 95% CI 1.092-1.8608; P = 0.009) and in male patients (HR 1.407, 95% CI 1.015-1.950; P = 0.04). A cut-off point of 4.475 for the UCR had sensitivity of 65.5% and specificity of 59.6% in predicting AF recurrence (P = 0.001). Conclusion Our results demonstrate that elevated preoperative UCR is associated with recurrence of AF after catheter ablation, and it indicate UCR maybe a predictive factor for the recurrence of AF.
