ZJU Index and Hyperuricemia Association in Chinese Adults with Type 2 Diabetes

A 2026 retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 1,772 adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus from the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University in China. The dataset, authored by Haoxiang Li and shared on figshare, investigates the association between the Zhejiang University (ZJU) index and hyperuricemia.

Use Cases

• Modeling the association between a metabolic index and hyperuricemia based on clinical variables mentioned in the description
• Conducting subgroup analyses for specific patient cohorts like those with coronary heart disease
• Training or validating risk prediction models for hyperuricemia in diabetic populations

Strengths

• Includes data from 1,772 patient records, providing a substantive sample size for analysis
• Analysis includes multivariable regression, restricted cubic spline modeling, and subgroup analyses as described
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse

Limitations
