Table 3 Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goal attainment of the ACS population with at least one LDL-C measurements during index hospitalization and alive 28 days after index hospitalization (N = 2887) stratified by baseline comorbidity (diabetes mellitus and/or chronic kidney disease). LDL-C level (LDL-C < 1.8 mmol/L, LDL-C ≥ 1.8 mmol/L, no measurement) given by number and percentage (N, %) if nothing else is indicated (1 January 2010–31 December 2015)
