Development and Validation of Multiple Equations for Low-Density Lipoprotein and Apolipoprotein B in Korean Patients Visiting Local Clinics and Hospitals
We investigated the utilization of apolipoprotein B (ApoB), an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and developed and validated a translational equation for calculating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the Korean population visiting local clinics and hospitals. Among a t...

Sumario: | We investigated the utilization of apolipoprotein B (ApoB), an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and developed and validated a translational equation for calculating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the Korean population visiting local clinics and hospitals. Among a total of 469,520 data sets of the lipid profile panel (total cholesterol, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterols), 142,932 lipid test sets with data on LDL-C and/or ApoB were used for statistical analysis. Using linear regression analysis, we created ApoB percentile value-derived LDL-C equations in a creating set and validated them with previously reported equations (a total of 11 equations) in comparison to directly measured LDL-C using two independent validating sets. Among all lipid test sets, the simultaneously measured ApoB test only accounted for 2.0%, indicating its underutilization in Korea. The ApoB-derived equations, which were derived in this study and previous studies, showed an overall agreement of ≥94.3% for NCEP ATP III criteria. However, the accuracy of the equations varied among data sets of populations. Future studies are needed to validate translational equations for ApoB and LDL-C in different populations to clarify the clinical implications of these equations. |
