ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Presently, there is no consensus regarding the optimal serum uric acid (SUA) concentration for pediatric patients. Adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy is considered to be closely associated with pediatric metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk and is a common condition in children admitted to the hospital. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between SUA and dyslipidemia and propose a reference range for SUA concentration that is associated with a healthy lipid profile in hospitalized children with adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy.METHODS:
Preoperative data from 4922 children admitted for elective adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy surgery due to adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy were collected. SUA concentrations were scaled to standard deviation (SD), and SUA deviations were expressed as SD from the mean SUA of children without dyslipidemia.RESULTS:
The mean SUA concentration of the participants was 4.27 ± 1.01 mg/dL, and the prevalence of hyperuricemia was 1.6% when it was defined using an SUA of ≥ 7.0 mg/dL. Participants with dyslipidemia (856, 17.4%) had a higher prevalence of hyperuricemia (3.4% vs. 1.2%, P < 0.001) and higher SUA concentrations (4.51 ± 1.15 vs. 4.22 ± 0.97 mg/dL, P < 0.001) than those with ortholiposis. The circulating lipid status of participants with SUAs < 1 SD below the mean value for the participants with ortholiposis (range 1.80-3.28 mg/dL) was more normal. Each 1-SD increase in SUA was associated with a 27% increase in the risk of dyslipidemia (OR = 1.270, 95% CI, 1.185-1.361). Adjustment for a number of potential confounders reduced the strength of the relationship, but this remained significant (OR = 1.125, 95% CI, 1.042-1.215). The higher risk of dyslipidemia was maintained for participants with SUAs > 1 SD above the mean value of the participants with ortholiposis.CONCLUSIONS:
SUA was independently associated with dyslipidemia in children with adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy, and an SUA < 1 SD below the mean value for patients with ortholiposis was associated with a healthy lipid profile.Palavras-chave
