尊敬的编辑：我们要感谢赖世伟博士对我们最近的研究文章《别嘌呤醇与美国2型糖尿病退伍军人患糖尿病性黄斑水肿的风险》的深刻评论。这篇评论就这项研究提出了三个关键点。首先，原始论文中没有包括基线血清尿酸，这可能会影响研究结果。为了回答这个问题，我们提取了研究指标30天内的血清尿酸实验室结果，并将原始样本细分为具有实验室结果的样本。表1显示了样本的基线特征，包括血清尿酸水平。两组的血清尿酸水平相似，约为6.5 mg/dL。我们也
Dear Editor, We would like to thank Dr. Shih-Wei Lai for the insightful commentary 1 on our recent research article titled “Allopurinol and the Risk of Diabetic Macular Edema among US Veterans with Type 2 Diabetes.” 2 The commentary raised three crucial points regarding the study.First, baseline serum uric acid was not included in the original paper, and this could potentially affect the study outcome. In response to this query, we extracted serum uric acid laboratory results within 30 days of study index, sub-setting the original sample to those with a lab result. Table 1 displays the baseline characteristics of the sample, including serum uric acid levels. Both groups had similar serum uric acid levels of approximately 6.5 mg/dL. We also
