Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and clinical outcomes in patients with liver cirrhosis: a nationwide cohort study
This large-scale nationwide study demonstrated that elevated LDL-C levels are significantly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events in patients with LC, while both low and high LDL-C levels are associated with a higher risk of all-cause death. These findings highlight the need for individualised lipid management strategies in this high-risk population.
