ROC analysis in the study population. Receiver-operating characteristic curves depicting uric acid in predicting all study clinical events in both females and males groups are reported. As evident, the area under the curve (AUC) for all study clinical events was higher in the females group as compared with males group. The best cut-off value of uric acid for cardiovascular events ranges from 4.8 to 5.2 mg/dl in females, while in males group it ranges from 5.3 to 5.6 mg/dl
