Lipid goal attainment in post-acute coronary syndrome patients in China: Results from the 6-month real-world dyslipidemia international study II.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dyslipidemia International Study II (DYSIS II)-China was conducted to determine the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goal (<1.8 mmol/L) attainment rate in patients with post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Hypothesis

Compliance with treatment guideline recommendations improves the LDL-C goal attainment rate in post-ACS patients.

Methods

This multicenter prospective observational study conducted at 28 tertiary hospitals determined the LDL-C goal attainment rates at admission and 6-month follow-up in patients on lipid-lowering treatment (LLT) for ≥3 months and those not on LLT (LLT-naive or off LLT for ≥3 months) at admission. Predictors of goal attainment at 6 months were identified using multivariate logistic regression.

Results
