Figure 2. Multivariable Modelling Results for Statin Utilization in Female vs. Male Patients.

Figure 2.

Based on results of a logistic regression model that included age, race, prior ASCVD grouped into CAD, CVD and PAD, diabetes, obesity, smoking, hypertension, heart failure, yearly income, insurance status, education level, patient numeracy, patient beliefs including worry about heart disease, physician trust, statin beliefs about safety, effectiveness and the link between high cholesterol and heart attack risk, cardiologist vs. non-cardiologist, use of 2013 ACC/AHA guideline, urban vs. rural setting, and provider time in practice. In subgroup analyses, the variable that defined the subgroup was not adjusted for except in the secondary prevention group where type of ASCVD was included in the model (CAD vs. CVD vs. PAD).

ACC = American College of Cardiology; AHA = American Heart Association; ASCVD, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; CAD = coronary artery disease; CVD = cerebrovascular disease; CI = confidence interval; GR = guideline-recommended; PAD = peripheral vascular disease
