- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The Percentage of Participants Achieving Low Density Lipoprotein-C (LDL-C) Treatment Goal After 12-week Treatment. Baseline and week 12 Goal attainment percentage of LDL-C after 12-week treatment. LDL-C goal attainment was based on National Cholesterol Education program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III guidelines (2004). Newly Diagnosed Dyslipidemia Patients Including: 1)Intermediate Risk (\>2 Risk Factors) with Total Cholesterol above 200 mg/dL or Low Density Lipoprotein C (LDL-C) level \>130 who failed a 3-month diet control period, or 2) high risk patients with a history of coronary artery disease or diabetes having a total cholesterol \>200 mg/dl or LDL-C level \>130 mg/dl.
The Percentage of Participants Achieving Low Density Lipoprotein-C (LDL-C) Treatment Goal After 6-week Treatment. Baseline and week 6 Goal attainment percentage of LDL-C after 6-week treatment. LDL-C goal attainment was based on National Cholesterol Education program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III guidelines (2004). Newly Diagnosed Dyslipidemia Patients Including: 1)Intermediate Risk (\>2 Risk Factors) with Total Cholesterol above 200 mg/dL or Low Density Lipoprotein C (LDL-C) level \>130 who failed a 3-month diet control period, or 2) high risk patients with a history of coronary artery disease or diabetes having a total cholesterol \>200 mg/dl or LDL-C level \>130 mg/dl.
