Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals of the associations between various variability measurements of serum uric acid and risk of all-cause mortality. ARV, average real variability; CV, coefficient variability; CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; SD, standard deviation; SUA, serum uric acid; VIM, variability independent of the mean. Adjusted for age and gender, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, education, income, smoking status, drinking status, physical activity, history of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia, antihypertensive agents, hypoglycemic agents, lipid-lowering agents, estimated glomerular filtration rate, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, baseline serum uric acid, and mean serum uric acid
