title: Uric acid and mortality from all-causes and cardiovascular disease among adults with and without diagnosed diabetes: findings from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III Linked Mortality Study.
abstract: Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III Linked Mortality Study, uric acid concentration was significantly related to mortality from all-causes (978 diabetic participants: hazard ratio per mg/dl, 1.14; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.28; 12,824 nondiabetic participants: hazard ratio, 1.06; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.11) but not major CVD.
