REALITY Study

Description

In the REALITY (The Return on Expenditure Achieved for Lipid Therapy) Study, we investigated the daily practice of GPs and specialists in lipid-lowering treatment. We analysed data from around 440 patients of 30 GPs and 14 cardiologists and/or lipidologists. 74% of the patients received lipid-lowering treatment and only a small percentage achieved the desired target. A higher percentage of patients treated by specialists achieved the therapeutic target. (Gy Paragh, L Márk, K Zmolyi, Gy Pados, P Ofner: Drug Invest 2007;27(9)647-660.)
