What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Percentage of Participants Achieving Low Density Lipoprotein-C (LDL-C) Treatment Goal After 6-week Treatment.
Time Frame: Baseline and week 6
Goal attainment percentage of LDL-C after 6-week treatment. LDL-C goal attainment was based on National Cholesterol Education program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III guidelines (2004). Newly Diagnosed Dyslipidemia Patients Including: 1)Intermediate Risk (>2 Risk Factors) with Total Cholesterol above 200 mg/dL or Low Density Lipoprotein C (LDL-C) level >130 who failed a 3-month diet control period, or 2) high risk patients with a history of coronary artery disease or diabetes having a total cholesterol >200 mg/dl or LDL-C level >130 mg/dl.
Baseline and week 6
The Percentage of Participants Achieving Low Density Lipoprotein-C (LDL-C) Treatment Goal After 12-week Treatment.
Time Frame: Baseline and week 12

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants.
