Background: Currently, the number of patients with SARS-COV-2 infection has increased rapidly in Iran, but the risk and mortality of SARS-COV-2 infection in Iranian patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypertension and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) still not clear. The aim of this meta-analysis was to estimate the proportion and mortality of SARS-COV-2 in these patients.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was carried out in PubMed, Web of Sciences, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, CNKI, SciELO, and other databases to identify all relevant studies published up to 10 January, 2020.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on the relationship between hyperuricemia (high uric acid levels) and the risk of developing hypertension (high blood pressure) using two calculation methods for population attributable risk (PAR).
  • It involved tracking 1,256 normotensive individuals over nearly 10 years, finding that those with elevated uric acid levels had a significantly higher rate of developing hypertension (44.7% vs. 35.6%).
  • The attributable risk of hyperuricemia in hypertension was identified as 9.1%, with PAR values of 6% and 5.8% from the two methods, demonstrating that hyperuricemia is an important independent risk factor for hypertension.
