Abstract

Aim. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the results of the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol determination, obtained by direct and calculated methods according to Friedwald, on the classification of patients into hypercholesterolemia severity groups.
Materials and methods. The analysis of 161,051 results of lipid profile studies performed in a large centralized laboratory, excluding interventions. Statistical data processing was carried out using regression analysis and the Blend-Altman method.
Results. Regression analysis showed a high degree of relationship (R2=0.91) between the results of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, obtained by a direct method and calculated by the Friedwald formula. However, the revealed trend (the slope of the regression line and the straight line in the Blend-Altman analysis) showed that below 3.5 mmol /l LDL-C for the direct method, in general, higher values are characteristic, compared with the Friedwald method, and above 3.5 mmol /l – lower.
Conclusion. For all ranges of LDL-C levels, differences in the classification of patients according to the values of direct determination and calculated values did not exceed 3.2%, which can be considered as a direct confirmation of the clinical validity of the Friedwald formula.
