The study endpoints were nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), nonfatal stroke and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. There were 7135 study subjects, of whom 14.5% (n=1035) were taking allopurinol and 6042 (84.7%) were not under urate-lowering therapy.

The main limitations were that the investigators did not confirm whether participants actually took the medication prescribed, and that there may have been changes in allopurinol dosage after UA measurement, which was only performed once.

The study outcomes were all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality and cardiovascular disease recurrence (hospitalization with a primary diagnosis of angina, MI, HF, stroke or transient ischemic attack). Patients were divided into three groups according to allopurinol exposure during the study period: non-users, prevalent users (who had at least one prescription of allopurinol during the screening period), and incident users (who did not receive any allopurinol prescriptions during the screening period but received at least one prescription of allopurinol after the screening period.

Multivariate analysis adjusted for social deprivation, medication and comorbidities was performed.</p><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In patients receiving low-dose allopurinol in the incident group, there was an increase in risk of all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 1.6; 95% CI, 1.26–2.03); cardiovascular mortality (adjusted HR 1.70; 95% CI, 1.29–2.23) and cardiovascular recurrence (adjusted HR 1.44, 95% CI, 1.01–2.07) compared with non-users. These results may be explained by the fact that subjects who are prescribed allopurinol have high UA, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. High-dose allopurinol use was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality compared with low-dose allopurinol use (adjusted HR 0.65, 95% CI 0.42–0.99). This may be due to the effect of allopurinol on endothelial function, the benefits showing a steep dose-response curve. However, high dose did not significantly reduce risk for cardiovascular recurrence and cardiovascular mortality compared to low dose in the prevalent users group (adjusted HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.56–1.53 and adjusted HR 0.64, 95% CI 0.39–1.04, respectively).</p><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This study was classified as level of evidence B. It was a population-based cohort study with a large sample size and some possible confounding factors such as comorbidities were taken into account. Compliance with medication was monitored through dispensed prescribing, the follow-up period was long with complete follow-up, and the outcomes were patient-oriented. However, there was no information on other prescribed medication, particularly losartan, or on UA levels. Furthermore, the diagnosis of renal disease was made on the basis of creatinine level only, the investigators did not confirm whether participants actually took the allopurinol prescribed, and the two groups of allopurinol users were only similar in terms of comorbidities. There was inconsistency in the methods used to estimate the level of exposure to allopurinol, and when calculating risks, high and low doses were considered, with no data being presented on medium-dose users in the prevalent use group.</p></span><span id="sec0030" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0100">Case-control study (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0015">Table 3</a>)</span><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Thanassoulis et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> carried out a case-control study in 25<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>090 patients with HF aged ≥66 years.
