Remnant Cholesterol as a risk factor for cardiovascular, Cancer or other causes mortality: a competing risks analysis

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDis) are leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Even after the introduction of pharmacological therapy to lower Cholesterol, there is still a residual risk that may be ascribed to Remnant Cholesterol (RC). We aimed, by analyzing two prospective cohort studies, to estimate the effect of RC on risk and hazard of Cardiovascular Deaths (CVDs), while accounting for competing risks such as Cancer (CDs) and Other-Causes Deaths (OCDs).
