Abstract
AimsMeta-analysis was performed to assess the value of serum uric acid in the prognosis of ischemic stroke. Data synthesisWe searched the databases of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. The literature we searched was published from the establishment of the database to January 2021. The references of the included literature were also collected. Two researchers sifted through the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and extracted the data. Stata 16.0 software was used for meta-analysis, and funnel plots were used to evaluate publication bias. Ten studies fulfilled the research criteria and were eventually included, and the analysis results showed that there was no significant association between serum uric acid and the functional outcome (OR = 0.99, 95% CI; 0.97–1.10), poor outcome (OR = 1.07, 95% CI; 0.99–1.15), vascular events (OR = 0.86, 95% CI; 0.52–1.41), and mortality (OR = 1.08, 95% CI; 0.93–1.24) related to ischemic stroke. ConclusionsThere was no significant correlation between serum uric acid level and prognosis of ischemic stroke.
