| Popis: | Background Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is highly lethal upon onset of acute aortic diseases (AAD) or rupture. Dyslipidaemia and hyperuricaemia are important risk factors for the development of AAA and AAD as well as aortic disease-related death. The aim of this study was to explore whether uric acid (UA) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (UHR) can be used as an independent predictor of the presence of AAA or AAD.Methods Three hundred subjects, including 100 AAA patients (AAA group), 100 AAD patients (AAD group) and 100 controls (CON group), were recruited in this study. UHR and other serum samples were obtained upon the patients’ admission before any medical treatment. The optimal cut-off points of UHR were determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.Results The UHR in AAA group was significantly higher than that in CON group, but there was no significant difference between AAD group and CON group. The optimal cut-off point of UHR for AAA was 7.78 (sensitivity 84.7%, specificity 62.4%, and AUC 0.811; p |
