BP indicates blood pressure; LDL, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; and HbA1c, glycosylated hemoglobin. *First percentage denotes control for all patients in column, while the second percentage denotes control only for the patients with a diagnosis of that risk factor (HTN or HLP). †Control to HbA1c <7% is shown only for diabetic patients. The first percentage denotes percentage of diabetics with HbA1c <7% for those with an HbA1c value, while the second percentage is for all diabetic patients, assuming those without a value have values >7%.
