The Polish Mother's Memorial Hospital Research Institute Pitavastatin Registry

The PMMHRI-Pitavastatin Registry is a non-interventional, single-center registry conducted at the Polish Mother's Memorial Hospital Research Institute (PMMHRI), the second-largest supra-regional hospital in Poland. The registry was initiated in January 2024 to systematically collect real-world data on patients prescribed pitavastatin, aiming to assess its effectiveness, safety, and impact on lipid and cardiovascular risk management.

The registry has included all patients from the Departments of Cardiology and Endocrinology, as well as outpatient cardiology and endocrinology clinics, who have been prescribed pitavastatin. The inclusion of a broad patient population allows for a comprehensive evaluation of treatment patterns and outcomes in routine clinical practice.

Patient data are extracted from electronic medical records and include:

Demographic parameters (age, sex, BMI, etc.) Relevant comorbidities (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease) Concomitant medications, including: Lipid-lowering therapy status (monotherapy vs. combination therapy), Anticoagulation status Lifestyle factors, such as smoking status Post hoc calculated cardiovascular risk scores, to stratify patients based on their predicted risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) Laboratory parameters, including lipid profiles, inflammatory markers, and metabolic indicators.
