U-Shaped Relationship Between Functional Outcome and Serum Uric Acid in Ischemic Stroke

Abstract

The data show that the U-shaped nature of the exposure-risk relationship was more prominent when the data were assessed in deciles (based on the SUA values). This model predicted the lowest relative risk of unfavorable outcome in the 67th percentile (corresponding to 309 µmol/L). SUA was significantly associated with the risk of poor functional outcomes in Chinese patients with stroke.
