Association between adherence to statin therapy and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) response in first-time users of standard-dose and low-dose statins: the PharmLines Initiative

CONCLUSIONS: Adherence is significantly associated with LDL-c response to statins at follow-up. Sex appears to significantly modify this association. At a similar adherence level, women seem to experience a better LDL-c response to standard-dose statins compared to men in a real-world setting.PMID:34555980 | DOI:10.1080/03007995.2021.1984222
