Preventive Cardiology Information System Database Cohort Study (PreCIS Cohort Study)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of serum uric acid levels in a large cohort of men and women at high risk of cardiovascular disease. Serum uric acid levels were determined in all patients seen for primary/secondary cardiovascular disease prevention at the Cleveland Clinic Section of Preventive Cardiology and Rehabilitation between 1998 and 2004, and all data were entered into the Preventive Cardiology Information System (PreCIS) database. Vital status of the patients was determined through the Social Security Death Index. A total of 2,003 men and 1,095 women with a mean age of 55.4 years, with a range of 18 to 87 years, were included.
