Background And Purpose
Method
This study was a nation-wide, multicenter, cross-sectional study conducted from July 2013 to August 2013 in mainland China. Patients who had an ischemic stroke within 6–12 months and were more than 18 year old were consecutively included into this study. All data referred to personal information, medical history, medication and results from laboratory tests were collected by face-to-face questionnaires, physical examination and blood tests. The predictors for the achievement of LDL-C target (<1.8 mmol/L or <70 mg/dL) were analyzed by the multivariate analysis.
Conclusion
Although lipid modulation is recommended as an important intervention for stroke patients in the international guidelines, the goal achievement of LDL-C is still very low in this population in mainland China. The modifiable predictors including the use of lipid-lowering medication and smoking cessation should be improved in secondary prevention of stroke.
