Prognostic Value of the Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol/High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio for Cardiovascular Events in Statin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes With Diabetic Retinopathy Without Prior Cardiovascular Disease

Key Points

• This research examines the link between the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetes patients with diabetic retinopathy taking statins.
• Analyzed data from high-risk type 2 diabetes patients with diabetic retinopathy
• Assessed cardiovascular events in relation to LDL-C/HDL-C ratio
• Focused on patients without prior cardiovascular disease
• Higher LDL-C/HDL-C ratios correlate with increased cardiovascular events
• Statin treatment influences the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio outcomes
• Patients with diabetic retinopathy show heightened risk compared to those without
