Objective To analyze the association between hyperuricemia and prognosis in elderly patients(aged 80 and over)with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.Methods This was a retrospective study.The clinical characteristics and follow up data of 268 elderly patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation between 2018 and 2022 were retrospectively collected.The clinical characteristics between patients with hyperuricemia(serum uric acid≥420 μmol/L,94 cases)and normal uric acid(serum uric acid<420 μmol/L,174 cases)were compared,and the relationship between hyperuricemia and their prognosis were further analyzed.Results Compared with patients with normal uric acid,those with hyperuricemia were more frequently with coronary artery disease,New York Heart Association(NYHA)class Ⅱ,and persistent atrial fibrillation.They also had higher level of CHA2 DS2-VASc score,HAS-BLED score,N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),serum creatinine and left atrial diameters,and lower level of the estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)(all P<0.05).During a median follow up of 22(11,36)months,27 patients(10.1%)were lost follow up.30(31.9%)and 32(18.4%)composite endpoints occurred among patients with hyperuricemia and normal uric acid,respectively.Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with hyperuricemia had a poorer prognosis during follow-up(log-rank P=0.001).In the univariate Cox analyses,hyperuricemia,the serum uric acid level,NYHA class Ⅱ,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter,and anticoagulant therapy were associated with composite endpoints(all P<0.05).After adjusting for multiple confounding factors,hyperuricemia was also independently associated with poor prognosis in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation(HR=1.849,95%CI:1.049-3.259,P=0.033).Conclusions Hyperuricemia is associated with poor prognosis in elderly patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
