Evaluation of current indirect methods for measuring LDL-cholesterol
LDL-C<sub>FW</sub> generally provided reliable estimates of LDL-C in most samples, showing non-inferiority to LDL-C<sub>SN</sub> or LDL-C<sub>MH</sub>, thereby confirming its legitimacy for routine use. Since current treatment recommendations are based on studies employing LDL-C<sub>FW</sub>, its replacement by alternatives is not justified.
