Comparison of hyperuricemic patients who did not use ULT (HUA /No gout /No ULT), to the matched reference group (No HUA /No gout /No ULT) showed a marginally significant effect on all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 1.24; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.97–1.59) due to attrition of case number after matching procedure, and a significant risk of hyperuricemia for CVD mortality (adjusted HR 2.13; 95% CI 1.34–3.39) ( Table 2 ).
