Fig. 1

This figure illustrates the data processing to identify LDL-C pairs for patients in “Titrators” group. To obtain the LDL-C value before statin intensity change (pre_LDL) and after statin change (post_LDL) for the analysis, a statin intensity change is first identified. In the figure, two statin intensity changes (C1 and C2) were identified for the patient (P01). For each statin intensity change, the pre_LDL is taken to be the most recent LDL-C result within one year before a statin intensity titration, while the post_LDL is the first LDL-C value within six weeks to one year after the statin intensity titration. Abbreviations: C1 first statin intensity change, C2 second statin intensity change, P01 illustrative patient, pre_LDL LDL-C before statin intensity titration, post_LDL LDL-C after the statin intensity titration
