PCSK9 inhibition in clinical practice: treatment patterns and attainment of lipid goals in a large health maintenance organization

TL;DR: In real-world practice of patients treated by PCSK9i, high proportion of early treatment discontinuation was evident, with non-negligible re-initiation rates but overall low medication coverage over time, which have contributed to sub-optimal attainment of LDL-C treatment goals, particularly observed in patients with severe hypercholesterolemia, inadequate drug adherence, and those using PCSK 9i as monotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
