BACKGROUND Little is known about the role of serum uric acid in cardiovascular events. We studied the prevalence of hyperuricemia and the association between uric acid level and various cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS This cross-sectional study was based on a population of patients with hypertension who attended a hypertension clinic in a university hospital in Bogotá, Colombia. Bivariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression models were utilized to investigate the relationship between hyperuricemia and cardiovascular risk factors. RESULTS The study population included 444 patients. The overall prevalence of hyperuricemia was 28.8%. Male gender (OR 2.3), age (OR 1.03), BMI (OR 1.09), triglyceride level (OR 1.005) and low HDL (OR 0.96) were significantly associated with hyperuricemia. CONCLUSIONS Prevalence of hyperuricemia is high in patients with hypertension. Serum uric acid is significantly associated with parameters of the metabolic syndrome. Hyperuricemia should be acknowledged and monitored as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
