R Used - Jama, 2012 - jamanetwork.com
Context The value of assessing various emerging lipid-related markers for prediction of first
cardiovascular events is debated. Objective To determine whether adding information on
apolipoprotein B and apolipoprotein AI, lipoprotein (a), or lipoprotein-associated
phospholipase A 2 to total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)
improves cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction. Design, Setting, and Participants
Individual records were available for 165 544 participants without baseline CVD in 37 …
