Accuracy of the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio for prediction of the low-density lipoprotein phenotype B
Abstract
This study examined the accuracy of a triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio of 3.8 for the prediction of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) phenotype B. The ratio of 3.8 was based on Adult Treatment Panel recommendations for normal fasting triglycerides (<150 mg/dl) and HDL cholesterol (>40 mg/dl). Fasting blood samples were obtained from 658 patients. LDL phenotype analysis was performed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. A triglyceride/HDL cholesterol ratio of 3.8 divided the distribution of LDL phenotypes with 79% (95% confidence interval [CI] 74 to 83) of phenotype B greater than and 81% (95% CI 77 to 85) of phenotype A less than the ratio of 3.8. The ratio was reliable for identifying LDL phenotype B in men and women.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
