结局指标
主要结局
Adherence rate
时间窗: 6 and 12 weeks
Adherence rate was measured by: 1\. Pill counting (PC) Pill count (PC) Is an objective mesearrment, calculated by the sum of days covered by lipid-lowering medication divided by the number of days in that period. Investigators calculated the index date for adherence on the day of recruitment for each patient. Patients were considered to have good adherence to lipid-lowering medication if their estimated PC was ≥80%, Equation : Sum of days covered by lipid-lowering medication / number of days in that period × 100. Percentage ≧ 80% means a good medication adherence Percentage \< 80% means a poor medication adherence
