Dyslipidaemia Global Newsletter #8 2024
The proportion of highly adherent patients (defined as having a PDC >75%) was significantly higher in the SPC group compared
to the FCT group (56.8% vs. 44.5%, P < 0.001). This difference remained statistically significant even after stratifying patients by
cardiovascular risk levels (very high, high, and other).
Dyslipidaemia
Proportion of adherent, partially adherence, and non-adherent patients in SPC and FCT
cohorts after propensity score matching.
Patients in the SPC group were also more likely to achieve their LDL-C targets at the 1-year follow-up compared to the FCT group
(very high CV risk: 35.4% vs. 23.8%; high CV risk: 46.9% vs. 23.1%; mild/moderate CV risk: 71.6% vs. 49.5%, P < 0.001 for all CV
risk categories).
The analysis revealed that total healthcare costs per patient were significantly lower in the SPC group compared to the FCT group at
the 1-year follow-up (2337€ vs. 1890€, P < 0.001). This difference was primarily driven by:
• Lower drug expenses (both overall and for CV-related medications)
• Reduced hospitalisation costs (both all-cause and CV-related)
• Decreased outpatient service costs
