- Study explores the relationship between serum uric acid to HDL-cholesterol ratio (UHR) and all-cause mortality in US cancer patients.
- Data analyzed from NHANES (2005-2018) linked to National Death Index records until 2019.
- Multivariate Cox models and Kaplan-Meier curves used to assess mortality risk.
- Higher UHR linked to increased mortality risk (HR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.07-1.93).
- Association is nonlinear, stronger in patients ≥65, males, and those with diabetes/hypertension.
- Stratified analyses show significant link in breast, colorectal, and prostate cancers.
- UHR may serve as a predictor of all-cause mortality in cancer patients.
