Treatment and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in patients with hypercholesterolaemia or mixed dyslipidaemia at high or very high cardiovascular risk: a population-based cross-sectional study in the Netherlands
To describe treatment patterns, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) in the Netherlands in 2018 of patients with hypercholesterolaemia or mixed dyslipidaemia at high or very high cardiovascular (CV) risk. From the PHARMO Database Network adult patients with a diagnosis or receiving lipid lowering therapy (LLT) between 2009 and 2018 were selected. Patients at high or very high CV risk according to 2016 ESC/EAS guidelines with recorded LDL-C levels who were treated with LLT or were characterized as statin intolerant in 2018 were included. LLT treatment patterns, LDL-C levels and HCRU (General Practitioner [GP] consultations and hospitalizations) were assessed. The study population included 54,346 patients, of which 70% were at very high CV risk and 30% at high CV risk. The majority (93%) received statin monotherapy, mostly of moderate (73%) or high (15%) intensity. Only 3% received a combination of statin and ezetimibe. Statin intolerance, based on a treatment algorithm, was estimated at 3%. Average LDL-C decreased with LLT intensity. Overall, 74% reached LDL-C < 2.5 mmol/l and 34
