Dear Editor,We read with great interest Kilic Coban’s study entitled “CanTG/HDL Ratio be an Accurate Predictor in the Determination of the Risk of Cerebrovascular Events in Youngsters?”.[1] We congratulate the author for this study. In addition, wewould like to note a few points about the studied parameters for readers and the author.This study included 112 patients aged 16–45 years and110 patients aged >45 years in addition to a control groupcomprising 113 patients age 16-45 years range withouta history of stroke. In the study, serum lipid levels [totalcholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-densitylipoprotein (HDL), triglyceride (TG)] were measured in allthe patients, and it was stated that these measurementswere performed using the standard laboratory method.
