Association of Lipoprotein(a) Levels With Incidence of Major Adverse Limb Events.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

High lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) levels are involved in the development of cardiovascular events, particularly in myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral artery disease. Studies assessing the Lp(a) levels associated with adverse lower-limb events are lacking.

Objective

To assess the association between Lp(a) levels and incidence of major adverse limb events in unselected hospitalized patients.

Design, setting, and participants

This large retrospective monocentric cohort study was conducted from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2020. Data were derived from the clinical information system of the Hôpital Européen Georges-Pompidou, a Paris-based university hospital.
