ACCORD- Lipid Results Shown are mean plasma levels of total cholesterol (Panel A), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (Panel B), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (Panel C) and median levels of triglycerides (Panel D) at baseline, 4 months, 8 months, 1 year, and annually thereafter. Nominal P values for differences between the study groups at 4 months and at the end of the study were, respectively: total cholesterol, P<0.001 and P=0.02; LDL cholesterol, P=0.11 and P=0.16; HDL cholesterol, P<0.001 and P=0.01; and triglycerides, P<0.001 for both comparisons with the use of nonparametric tests. End-of-study visits were those that occurred in early 2009 and included follow-up at years 4, 5, 6, and 7. The I bars represent 95% confidence intervals. To convert the values for cholesterol to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.02586. To convert the values for triglycerides to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.01129. The ACCORD Study Group.

ACCORD Lipid: Primary Outcome in Prespecified Subgroups Hazard Ratios for the Primary Outcome in Prespecified Subgroups. The horizontal bars represent 95% confidence intervals, and the vertical dashed line indicates the overall hazard ratio. The size of each square is proportional to the number of patients. P values are for tests for interaction. To convert the values for cholesterol to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.02586. To convert the values for triglycerides to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.01129. The ACCORD Study Group. N Engl J Med 2010;10.1056/NEJMoa1001282 15
ADA Lipid Goals and Recommendations 2009 Lifestyle modifications Primary LDL –C goal < 100 mg/dl ; If CVD:LDL-C < 70 mg/dl is an option Statin therapy added to lifestyle changes, regardless of baseline LDL , if Overt CVD; Without CVD but age > 40 yr + one or more other CVD risk factors Without overt CVD and age < 40 yr -Consider statin if LDL-C > 100 mg/dl or multiple risk factors , despite lifestyle therapy. In drug treated patients, a reduction in LDL-C of ~30-40% from baseline , if LDL targets not achieved with maximum tolerated statin therapy. Triglycerides < 150 mg/dl; HDL-C > 40 mg/dl (men),> 50 mg/dl (women): Desirable Combination therapy to achieve lipid goals may be needed but outcome studies pending.
