Abstract
In contrast to experimental studies indicating the neuroprotective role of uric acid (UA), recent clinical studies have shown that increased UA is associated with a risk of acute hemorrhagic stroke. However, the association of UA with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) has not been adequately evaluated. In this study, we determined the relationship between UA and IVH in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We included 721 patients with ICH who were admitted to a tertiary hospital in South Korea. The patients were stratified into quartiles based on their UA levels. IVH decreased continuously across all quartiles of UA. After adjusting for confounding factors, the odds ratio (OR) for IVH was significantly lower in the fourth quartile compared with that in the first quartile (OR: 0.713; 95% CI: 0.546-0.934; P=0.045). In conclusion, UA is independently associated with IVH, suggesting its protective role against IVH in patients with ICH.
期刊介绍：
Aim and Scope: The Archives of Iranian Medicine (AIM) is a monthly peer-reviewed multidisciplinary medical publication. The journal welcomes contributions particularly relevant to the Middle-East region and publishes biomedical experiences and clinical investigations on prevalent diseases in the region as well as analyses of factors that may modulate the incidence, course, and management of diseases and pertinent medical problems. Manuscripts with didactic orientation and subjects exclusively of local interest will not be considered for publication.The 2016 Impact Factor of "Archives of Iranian Medicine" is 1.20.
