Methods for estimating costs in patients with hyperlipidemia experiencing their first cardiovascular event in the United Kingdom.

Detailed costing using utilization data is feasible and representative of UK clinical practice, but is labor intensive. The availability of a standardized coding system in the UK drug costing data would greatly facilitate drug costing. PMID: 28635339 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
