Uric acid elevation in pediatric patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and prediction of mortality
Abstract
Background and aims:Pediatric dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a primary cause of heart failure, highlighting the urgent need for effective prognostic markers.
背景和目的:小儿扩张型心肌病(DCM)是心力衰竭的主要原因,迫切需要有效的预后指标。
Methods:We performed a single-center retrospective study involving 145 children diagnosed with DCM, with a median follow-up period of 4.0 months (interquartile range: 6.2-108.4 months). The relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and all-cause mortality was assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival curves, multivariate Cox proportional hazard models, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models.
方法:我们进行了一项单中心回顾性研究,涉及145名诊断为扩张型心肌病的儿童,中位随访期为4.0个月(四分位距:6.2-108.4个月)。使用Kaplan-Meier生存曲线、多变量考克斯比例风险模型和限制三次样条(RCS)模型评估血清尿酸(SUA)水平与全因死亡率之间的关系。
Results:Of the 145 children with DCM (median age 5.7 years; 61.4% male), 45 (31%) died within 1 year, and 65 (44.8%) died during the maximum follow-up period. In adjusted multivariate Cox regression models, each log2 SUA increase was linked to a higher risk of 1-year mortality [hazard ratio (HR), 2.66; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.41-5.01] and overall mortality (HR, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.15-3.37). The highest SUA tertile showed a greater risk of mortality at 1 year (HR, 4.26; 95% CI: 1.5-12.06) and during the maximum follow-up (HR, 2.56; 95% CI: 1.06-6.16) compared with the lowest tertile. RCS models indicated an inverted L-shaped association between baseline SUA levels and overall mortality risk, with age-stratified analyses revealing a linear and U-shaped relationship in children ≤10 and >10 years, respectively. Further age-stratified analyses highlighted the modifying effect of age on this association.
结果:在145名DCM儿童(中位年龄5.7岁; 61.4%为男性)中,45名(31%)在1年内死亡,65名(44.8%)在最长随访期内死亡。在校正的多变量考克斯回归模型中,每增加1个log 2 SUA与1年死亡率[风险比(HR),2.66; 95%置信区间(CI),1.41-5.01]和总死亡率(HR,1.97; 95% CI,1.15-3.37)的风险升高相关。与最低三分位数相比,最高SUA三分位数显示1年时(HR,4.26; 95% CI:1.5-12.06)和最长随访期间(HR,2.56; 95% CI:1.06-6.16)的死亡风险更高。RCS模型显示基线SUA水平与总体死亡风险之间呈倒L形相关,年龄分层分析显示≤10岁和>10岁儿童分别呈线性和U形关系。进一步的年龄分层分析强调了年龄对这种关联的修正作用。
Conclusion:Elevated SUA levels are a significant predictor of mortality in pediatric DCM, with a pronounced impact on children under 10 years of age. Therefore, SUA levels could serve as potential biomarkers for risk stratification in this population.
结论:SUA水平升高是儿童DCM死亡率的重要预测因子,对10岁以下儿童有显著影响。因此,SUA水平可作为该人群危险分层的潜在生物标志物。
