A meta-analysis of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B as markers of cardiovascular risk
Abstract
Background—: Whether apolipoprotein B (apoB) or non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) adds to the predictive power of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) for cardiovascular risk remains controversial. Methods and Results—: This meta-analysis is based on all the published epidemiological studies that contained estimates of the relative risks of non-HDL-C and apoB of fatal or nonfatal ischemic cardiovascular events. Twelve independent reports, including 233 455 subjects and 22 950 events, were analyzed. All published risk estimates were converted to standardized relative risk ratios (RRRs) and analyzed by quantitative meta-analysis using a random-effects model. Whether analyzed individually or in head-to-head comparisons, apoB was the most potent marker of cardiovascular risk (RRR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.35 to 1.51), LDL-C was the least (RRR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.18 to 1.33), and non-HDL-C was intermediate (RRR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.24 to 1.44). The overall comparisons of the within-study differences showed that apoB RRR was 5.7%>non-HDL-C ( P <0.001) and 12.0%>LDL-C ( P <0.0001) and that non-HDL-C RRR was 5.0%>LDL-C ( P =0.017). Only HDL-C accounted for any substantial portion of the variance of the results among the studies. We calculated the number of clinical events prevented by a high-risk treatment regimen of all those >70th percentile of the US adult population using each of the 3 markers. Over a 10-year period, a non-HDL-C strategy would prevent 300 000 more events than an LDL-C strategy, whereas an apoB strategy would prevent 500 000 more events than a non-HDL-C strategy. Conclusions—: These results further validate the value of apoB in clinical care.

Assessing apo B-containing lipoproteins is favored to account for remnant and small dense lipoproteins that contribute to residual ASCVD risk not captured by a standard lipid panel.
“Accumulating evidence favors the need to assess apo Becontaining lipoproteins to account for remnant lipoproteins and small dense lipoproteins responsible for residual ASCVD risk not seen with a standard lipid panel of total cholesterol, LDL-C, and HDL-C.”

The Summary (page unavailable) favors routine apoB measurement and says it can reveal elevated LDL particle numbers when LDL-C is normal, improving cardiovascular-risk assessment. The paper also discusses VLDL and cholesterol-depleted LDL particles, but the cited passages do not establish the claim’s more specific account of remnant and small dense lipoproteins as causes of residual ASCVD risk.

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSystematic reviews found that Apo B100 and the Apo B100/Apo A1 ratio improved prediction of cardiovascular risk.
“Systematic reviews have examined the risk prediction power of Apo A1, A2 and B100 for cardiovascular risk and found Apo B100 and the Apo B100/Apo A1 ratio improved prediction [12–14].”

The Summary (page not provided) concludes that apoB is a better predictor of cardiovascular risk than non-HDL-C or LDL-C. The paper does not report a finding that the apoB/apoA-I ratio improves prediction, and its analysis does not examine apoA-I or apoA-II as predictors. (LLM, conf=0.88)

The Discussion reports that apoB predicts cardiovascular risk more accurately than non-HDL-C, which in turn outperforms LDL-C. The paper compares these individual markers, principally against LDL-C; it does not establish that the biomarkers outperform the standard lipid profile as a whole. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThese results explain why treatment of subjects for primary or secondary prevention based on apoB should be more effective than treatment based on LDL-C or non-HDL-C.

“28 Taken together with the evidence that apoB can be measured more accurately, more precisely, and more selectively than LDL-C or non-HDL-C, 1,29–31 this study demonstrates that neither LDL-C nor non-HDL-C is an adequate surrogate for apoB in the assessment and clinical care of individual patients.”

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.
