Comparison of Statin Adherence Between CVD Patients Receiving High‐Intensity and Low‐ to Moderate‐Intensity Statin Therapy
| Statin Adherence | High‐Intensity Statin Therapy, n = 229 435a | Low‐ to Moderate‐Intensity Statin Therapy, n = 399 563a | P Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDC, mean (SD) | 0.86 (0.18) | 0.87 (0.18) | <0.0001 |
| Patients with PDC ≥0.80, n (%) | 170 150 (74.2) | 304 661 (76.3) | <0.0001 |
Abbreviations: CVD, cardiovascular disease; PDC, proportion of days covered; SD, standard deviation.

Number of patients with available PDC for statins in each of the groups. PDC is missing for 2 patients in the high‐intensity therapy group and 5 patients in the low‐ to moderate‐intensity therapy group.
