Combined Impact of Mean and Variability of Non-HDL Cholesterol on Myocardial Infarction in Hemodialysis Patients.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: The aim of this study was to stratify cardiovascular risk based on the mean and variability of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: Data were analyzed for 453 hemodialysis patients without a history of myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke, who underwent at least five lipid profile measurements at any one of seven university hospitals in the Republic of Korea between March 2009 and December 2020. Visit-to-visit non-HDL-C variability was calculated using the coefficient of variation. The endpoints of the study were newly diagnosed MI, stroke, or all-cause death. Patients were divided into four groups according to quartiles of the mean and variability of non-HDL-C. Results: During a median follow-up
