Data from 33 physicians from different levels of hospitals were invited to provide information on patients who received MK-0954A and had pre- and post-treatment serum uric acid and lipid profile reports during the study period. Each physician could provide up to 30 clinical charts of patients matching the inclusion criteria for the study.

  • Had at least one serum uric acid measurements at baseline and one at 3 months after using MK-0954A 50/12.5 mg

  • Had the following records documented in the chart during the data collection period:

    • medical history and co-morbidities (if available)
    • sitting blood pressure, serum uric acid, lipid profile test results before and after using MK-0954A 50/12.5 mg
    • serum electrolytes, serum creatinine, and pre-meal sugar (if available)
    • prescription information of all antihypertensive regimens

Exclusion criteria:

  • Had been treated with diuretic or angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) 2 weeks before initiated treatment with MK-0954A 50/12.5 mg
