Relationship between serum uric acid and in-hospital mortality; this was non-linear (p < 0.001) in a generalised additive model (GAM). The smooth curve fit between variables is represented by the red line, whilst the 95% confidence interval from the fit is shown as blue bands. Adjustments have been made for patient age, gender, smoking status, BMI, diabetes, hypertension, Marfan syndrome, bicuspid aortic valve, CRI, atherosclerosis, stroke, time to presentation, aortic diameter, aortic regurgitation, arch vessel involvement, abdominal vessel involvement, EF value, SBP, DBP, Cr, BUN, eGFR, TG, TC, HDL, LDL, D-dimer, FDP, CRP, symptom, coronary malperfusion, mesenteric malperfusion, cerebral malperfusion, hypotension/shock, cardiac tamponade and operation status.
