Abstract

Aim: Our aim was to evaluate the frequency of patientswith diabetes mellitus which reached the LDL cholesterolgoals and their competence with the statin treatment.Method: LDL cholesterol levels were evaluated and reasons which effect the reaching the LDL goals were asked.Results: 106 diabetic patients were included to the study.Only %28.3 of such patients were at the LDL goal. Mostof these patients were not compatible with their statintreatment and were effected with the statin argumentsin media.Discussion: Statin treatment is important for the cardiovascular treatment. So that patients must be questionedabout their compliance to their treatment.

Özet

Amaç: Diyabetes Mellitus (DM) hastalarında hedef LDL kolesterol düzeylerine ulaşma oranı ve statin tedavisine uyum ile ilişkisini araştırmak.Metod: Çalışmaya katılan hastaların LDL kolesterol düzeylerine bakıldı ve hedef değerlere ulaşamama nedenleri sorgulandı.Sonuçlar: Çalışmaya 106 DM hastası dahil edildi. Hastaların %28,3’ü hedef LDL değerlerine sahipti. Hastaların büyük bir çoğunluğu statin tedavisine uyumsuzdu ve medyadaki statin tartışmalarından da etkilenmişti.Tartışma: Statinlerin kardiyovasküler korumada önemlidir. Bu yüzden bu hastaların tedaviye uyumları açısından da değerlendirilmesi gereklidir.
