I read with great interest the article by Centola M et al. [
[1]
], entitled “Impact of admission serum acid uric levels on in-hospital outcomes in
patients with acute coronary syndrome.” The result of this study suggests the association
between serum uric acid levels and in-hospital outcomes in patients with acute coronary
syndrome. Measuring serum uric acid is a low-cost test, and it seems meaningful to
show the usefulness of this simple process in severe prediction for patients with
acute coronary syndrome. However, I would like to emphasize the limitation of this
method.- Centola M.
