LDL-cholesterol change and goal attainment following statin intensity titration among Asians in primary care: a retrospective cohort study.
Andrew Hao Sen FangQiao GaoMong Li LeeWynne HsuNgiap Chuan TanPublished in: Lipids in health and disease (2021)
In this study based on real-world data of Asian patients in primary care, it was shown that although statin titration substantially affected LDL-C levels and LDL-C goal attainment rates, the magnitude was lower than results reported from clinical trials. These results should be taken into consideration and provide further insight to clinicians when making statin adjustment recommendations in order to achieve LDL-C targets in clinical practice, particularly for Asian populations.
