Abstract

Increased level of blood LDL-C has a causal and cumulative effect on advancing atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD). European guidelines for treating high LDL-C levels have been recently updated. However, in France, several challenges (e.g., physician and patient awareness, healthcare management) limit the application of management guidelines. The aim of this study was to understand the current opinions and perceived unmet clinical needs in recognising and managing hypercholesterolemia as an ASCVD risk factor, and to explore consensus around factors that support the effective management of elevated LDL-C. An expert group of cardiologists, endocrinologists, biology/genetics researchers, and a health technology assessments expert, from France was convened. The current management of hypercholesterolemia and barriers to achieving LDL-C goals in France were discussed and 44 statements were developed. Wider consensus was assessed by sending the statements as a 4-point Likert Scale questionnaire to cardiologists and endocrinologists across France. The consensus threshold was defined as ≥75%. A total of 101 responses were received. Consensus was very high (>90%) in 25 (57%) statements, high (≥75%) in 18 (41%) statements and was not achieved (<75%) only in 1 (2%) of statements. Overall, 43 statements achieved consensus. Based on consensus levels, key recommendations for improving current guidelines and approaches to care have been developed. Implementation of these recommendations will lead to better concordance with international treatment guidelines and increase levels of education for healthcare practitioners and patients. In turn, this will improve the available treatment pathways for cardiovascular diseases, potentially creating improved patient outcomes in the future.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 March 2024.
All research outputs
#3,274,862
of 25,706,302 outputs
Outputs from Panminerva Medica
#28
of 264 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#52,259
of 361,977 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Panminerva Medica
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,706,302 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 264 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 361,977 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
