Trial summary

Uric acid is the final breakdown product of purine degradation in humans. The association between high serum uric acid levels and arterial stiffness as well as endothelial dysfunction has been demonstrated in humans and uric acid has been suggested to be an important modulator of the inflammatory process.

  • Ages 35 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: There were 3,535 participants from multi-central departments with multiple classical Framingham risk factors atherosclerosis, 76 of whom had missing follow-up data. Thus,the study sample actually comprised 3,047 valid participants whose age older than or equal to 35 years.All participants were followed up from November 2011 to June 2018. A total of hospitalized patients were consecutively enrolled from the cardiology department and under treatment because of cardiovascular diseases .

Who may be able to join

  • age older than or equal to 35 years with multiple classical Framingham risk factors patients.

Who cannot join

  • Severe congestive heart failure and Severe renal failure patients.Severe congestive heart failure was defined that above or equal to cardiac functional classify 3 formulated by New York Heart Association (NYHA). Severe renal failure was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/ min/1.73m2.

About this study

Official title: Relationship of Serum Uric Acid Levels With All Cause Mortality and Cardiovascular Mortality in Multiple Classical Framingham Risk Factors Patients After a Six-year Follow-up: a China Prospective Cohort Study

Uric acid is the final breakdown product of purine degradation in humans. The association between high serum uric acid levels and arterial stiffness as well as endothelial dysfunction has been demonstrated in humans and uric acid has been suggested to be an important modulator of the inflammatory process. But debates still existed for hyperuricemia and hypouricemia as an independent role,especially after controlling other traditional atherosclerotic risk.The aim of this study was, firstly, to verify the association between hyperuricemia and cardiovascular diseases,secondly,to assess whether hypouricemia was an independent risk factor impact for cardiovascular disea.

Read the detailed description

The study is a longitudinal cohort study. The first cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2011. The eligible participants were followed up from November 2011 to June 2018 (mean follow-up months 68.71±11.35). During the followed-up time, 67 patients had missing data and 56 had no compliance. Thus, the study sample actually comprised 3,047 valid participants (1536 men, 1511 women) whose age older than or equal to 35 years (mean age 60.2±10.4 years) were followed up. A total of hospitalized patients were consecutively enrolled from cardiology department of Beijing and Shanghai. All subjects are under treatment because of cardiovascular diseases.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. all cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality

    Cardiovascular events definitions: Hospitalized myocardial infarction was classified as definite or probable based on chest pain symptoms, cardiac enzyme levels, and electrocardiographic findings, or angioplasty28. Coronary heart disease was determined to be present if there was (1) electrocardiographic (ECG) evidence of a prior myocardial infarction, (2) prior coronary artery bypass surgery or angioplasty, (3) Coronary angiography show coronary heart disease, (4) have symptoms of angina and ECG revealed myocardial ischemia performance or laboratory tests showed cardiac enzymes increased and exclude other types of disease, (5) a self-reported history of a physician-diagnosed heart attack 29. CHD death was classified "definite" based on chest pain symptoms, hospital records, and medical history.

    Measured: rom November 2011 to June 2018

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

all cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality (time frame: rom November 2011 to June 2018). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03616769, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
