Key result
The automatic adoption of non-fasting lipid profile testing in Brazil may compromise patient care and requires validation in the local population, as it appears driven more by convenience than rigorous science.
Why the study?
Does non-fasting lipid profile testing differ clinically from fasting testing in patients undergoing laboratory determination of the lipid profile?
Does non-fasting lipid profile testing differ clinically from fasting testing in patients undergoing laboratory determination of the lipid profile?

Córdova et al. (2018) conducted an editorial in Dyslipidemia. Non-fasting lipid profile determination vs. Fasting lipid profile determination was evaluated. The automatic adoption of non-fasting lipid profile testing in Brazil may compromise patient care and requires validation in the local population, as it appears driven more by convenience than rigorous science.
