Unmet needs in the diagnosis and treatment of dyslipidemia in the primary care setting in Germany

Objectives and methods: DETECT is a cross-sectional study of 55,518 unselected consecutive patients in 3188 representative primary care offices in Germany. In a random subset of 7519 patients, an extensive standardized laboratory program was undertaken. The study investigated the prevalence of cardiovascular disease, known risk factors (such as diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia and their co-morbid manifestation), as well as treatment patterns. The present analysis of the DETECT laboratory dataset focused on the prevalence and treatment of dyslipidemia in primary medical care in Germany. Coronary artery disease (CAD), risk categories and LDL-C target achievement rates were determined in the subset of 6815 patients according to the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) ATP III Guidelines. Results: Of all patients, 54.3% had dyslipidemia. Only 54.4% of the NCEP-classified dyslipidemic patients were diagnosed as ‘dyslipidemic’ by their physicians. Only 27% of all dyslipidemic patients (and 40.7% of the recognized dyslipidemic patients) were treated with lipid-lowering medications, and 11.1% of all dyslipidemic patients (41.4% of the patients treated with lipid-lowering drugs) achieved their LDL-C treatment goals. In conclusion, 80.3% of patients in the sample with dyslipidemia went undiagnosed, un-treated or under-treated

Les commissions d'enquêtes parlementaires et le huis clos

La Chambre des représentants a constitué, le 4 juin 1997, un collège d'experts (composé des professeur André Alen, Francis Delpérée, Alain De Nauw et Jean-Claude Scholsem). Elle lui a demandé de répondre à deux questions : - Comment concilier l'obligation de secret, telle qu'elle peut être imposée à l'occasion des travaux à huis clos d'une commission parlementaire d'enquête, et la liberté de parole, telle qu'elle est consacrée, de manière générale, au profit des parlementaires par l'article 58 de la Constitution ? - Comment infliger des sanctions (pénales ou autres) à des personnes, qui, au moment où elles méconnaissent le secret de certains travaux parlementaires, ne sont plus membre de la Chambre des représentants - soit que l'on se situe dans la période qui sépare la dissolution des Chambres législatives des élections, soit que les personnes intéressées n'aient pas postulé ou obtenu un nouveau mandat - ? // SOMMAIRE : I.
