TABLE 2.

LDL-C Levels, FRSCVD, Potential LDL-C Reduction, and Potential Relative and Absolute Reduction in 10-Year Risk for Those with LDL-C ≥ 100 mg per dL in the Study Cohort at Large

Outcomes Patients with LDL-C < 100 mg per dL Patients with LDL-C ≥ 100 mg per dL P Value
Number 59,184 30,083
LDL-C, mg per dL, mean (SD) 71.9 (17.5) 128.7 (27.7) < 0.001
FRSCVDa
  Mean (SD) 0.2226 (0.1633) 0.2278 (0.1724) 0.097
  Missing 50,023 25,929
Potential LDL-C reduction, mg per dL, mean (SD) 28.7 (27.7)
Potential reduction in relative risk of CVD, % 14.8
Potential absolute reduction in 10-year CVD risk, % 3.9

aBased on the 4,154 patients with FRSCVD values.

CVD = cardiovascular disease; FRSCVD = Framingham Risk Score for cardiovascular disease; LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; SD = standard deviation.
