摘要Background: Rosuvastatin has been claimed to be more potent than other statins in its ability to lower the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. This study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of rosuvastatin in LDL cholesterol lowering therapy for new or switched hyperlipidaemic Chinese patients. Methods: This study was a retrospective one in patients who took rosuvastatin in the outpatient clinics of Prince of Wales Hospital during the period of July 1, 2http://aims.cuhk.edu.hk/converis/portal/Publication/0http://aims.cuhk.edu.hk/converis/portal/Publication/04 to June 3http://aims.cuhk.edu.hk/converis/portal/Publication/0, 2http://aims.cuhk.edu.hk/converis/portal/Publication/0http://aims.cuhk.edu.hk/converis/portal/Publication/05. The prescribing pattern, the utilization pattern and the side effect profile were recorded. Attainment of lipid goals for each patient was assessed according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel (NCEP ATP) III guidelines. Results: A total of 261 Chinese patients (mean age (64.8±12) years; 55.6% male) were recruited into the study. The mean LDL-cholesterol level was (3.5http://aims.cuhk.edu.hk/converis/portal/Publication/0±1.29) mmol/L prior to Rosuvastatin and (2.3http://aims.cuhk.edu.hk/converis/portal/Publication/0±1.73) mmol/L after Rosuvastatin treatment (P
