From: Residual macrovascular risk in 2013: what have we learned?
Meta-analysis of major fibrate outcomes studies, showing the impact of fibrate treatment on residual CV risk in patients with atherogenic dyslipidaemia. An odds ratio <1 indicated a beneficial therapeutic effect. The two panels show data from subgroups of patients with dyslipidaemia i.e., high levels of triglycerides and low levels of high-density lipoprotein [HDL] cholesterol, Panel A; or from the complementary subgroups without this dyslipidaemia, Panel B. Subgroups with dyslipidaemia defined according to the ACCORD Lipid trial (triglycerides ≥204 mg/dL or 2.3 mmol/L and HDL cholesterol ≤34 mg/dL or 0.9 mmol/L) or closest to these lipid criteria in each of the other trials were used in this analysis. The outcome defined for each individual trial was used. A total of 2,428 fibrate-treated subjects (302 events) and 2,298 placebo-treated subjects (408 events) with dyslipidaemia were included in the analysis reported in A.
