A Low Level of High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Predicts All-Cause Mortality Within 30 Days in Hospitalized Elderly Patients
A low HDL-C level at admission was a predictor of all-cause mortality within 30 days in hospitalized elderly patients. The cut-off value of HDL-C was deemed to be low in considering the reference value in daily practice. When elderly patients are admitted, the HDL-C level could be the focus of attention for the prediction of the prognosis and disease management.
