Bridging the Gap between Evidence and Practice: Nationwide Retrospective Analysis of Lipid-Modifying Therapy Prescription Patterns in 5 Million Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Our findings revealed a significant under-prescription of lipid-modifying therapy in T2DM patients. The universal nature of under-prescription suggests barriers to guideline implementation. These results underscore the urgent need for systematic interventions, including automated identification systems, standardized protocols, and optimized provider education to improve cardiovascular risk management in patients with T2DM.
