ASSESSMENT OF THE USE OF DRUG TREATMENT OF DYSLIPIDEMIA AT MILITARY HOSPITAL 105

Dyslipidemia characteristics of outpatients with dyslipidemia for the first time, characteristics of drug use, and effectiveness in controlling dyslipidemia indexes after 3 months of treatment at Military Hospital 105 were studied. A crosssectional, retrospective descriptive study was investigated on adult outpatients who were diagnosed with dyslipidemia for the first time, examined and treated as outpatients at the hospital, and monitored for effectiveness in blood lipid control for 3 months after starting treatment. The decision to use the drug at the start of the study and the achievement of treatment goals at the time points were analyzed based on the ESC\EAS 2019 guidelines for treating DL. The majority of patients were aged > 45 years (80.5%), the most common group of patients was aged 46 - 59 (43.7%). The number of patients with comorbidities accounted for 62.8%. 87% of patients had mixed dyslipidemia, 54.8% of patients were in the group with high and very high cardiovascular risk. 93.5% of patients needed to start treatment with drugs based on LDL-C index at the time of treatment initiation. The majority of patients used monotherapy regimens, in which, Statins were used the most in the study sample with the rate of 95.3% in the initial treatment regimen. 70.4% of patients had an inappropriate decision to initiate treatment, of which the most common was the decision to use statins with insufficient dosage in patients (45.1%). Only 28% of patients reached their LDL-C goal after 3 months of treatment. From the high percentage of patients who did not reach the treatment goal in the study sample, it is necessary to consider using stronger statin therapy, higher dose statin, or using another treatment regimen for patients.
