Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Goal Achievement and Associated Factors among Type 2 Diabetes Patients at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: Cross-sectional Study, 2023

Abstract

Achieving the recommended LDL-C goal is vital for managing cardiovascular risk. However, research on LDL-C goal achievement and associated factors in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Ethiopia, is limited. While global rates vary from 18% to 73%, there is a need for further investigation in this region to better understand and address the factors influencing LDL-C goal attainment.
