LDL-cholesterol adjustment
To calculate the DLCN score the
LDL-cholesterol
untreated* LDL-cholesterol concentration
adjustment factor
is required.
Atorvastatin 10mg
1.618123
Atorvastatin 20mg
1.763668
*prior to being treated with cholesterol-
Atorvastatin 40mg
1.937984
lowering medication
Atorvastatin 80mg
2.150538
If this is unknown, then it can be
Rosuvastatin 5mg
1.709402
calculated from the medicated
Rosuvastatin 10mg
1.872659
concentration using the adjustment factor
Rosuvastatin 20mg
2.070393
to the right.
Rosuvastatin 40mg
2.314815
Rosuvastatin 80mg
2.624672
To calculate the untreated
Simvastatin 10mg
1.37741
LDL-cholesterol
Simvastatin 20mg
1.492537
concentration adjusting for
Simvastatin 40mg
1.636661
cholesterol medication.
Simvastatin 80mg
1.818182
Untreated LDL-cholesterol =
Ezetimibe 10mg
1.236094
Ezetimibe/simvastatin 10mg/10mg
1.855288
medicated concentration x
Ezetimibe/simvastatin 10mg/20mg
2.008032
cholesterol adjustment
Ezetimibe/simvastatin 10mg/40mg
2.252252
factor for medication/dose
Ezetimibe/simvastatin 10mg/80mg
2.463054
Ezetimibe/atorvastatin 10mg/10mg
2
Ezetimibe/atorvastatin 10mg/20mg
2.173913
Example:
A patient's LDL-cholesterol is 3.6mmol/L
Ezetimibe/atorvastatin 10mg/40mg
2.173913
on Atorvastatin 80mg
Ezetimibe/atorvastatin 10mg/80mg
2.5
Ezetimibe/rosuvastatin 10mg/10mg
2.48139
Untreated LDL-cholesterol
Ezetimibe/rosuvastatin 10mg/20mg
2.739726
= 3.6 x 2.150538
Ezetimibe/rosuvastatin 10mg/40mg
3.333333
= 7.7mmol/L
Pravastatin 10mg
1.251564
Pravastatin 20mg
1.322751
Therefore the patient would have a LDL-
Pravastatin 40mg
1.422475
cholesterol of 7.7mmol/L if they were
not on medication.
