Abstract

Despite compliance with lifestyle recommendations, some children and adolescents with high-risk hyperlipidemia will require lipid-lowering drug therapy, particularly those with familial hypercholesterolemia. The purpose of this statement is to examine new evidence on the association of lipid abnormalities with early atherosclerosis, discuss challenges with previous guidelines, and highlight results of clinical trials with statin therapy in children and adolescents with familial hypercholesterolemia or severe hypercholesterolemia. Recommendations are provided to guide decision-making with regard to patient selection, initiation, monitoring, and maintenance of drug therapy.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Data suggest that care for type 1 diabetes has improved, as evidenced by reduced rates of microvascular disease in past decades, whereas data on cardiovascular disease suggest substantially less progress in reducing macrovascular disease rates.

    “Furthermore, there are data to suggest that care for T1D has improved as evidenced by reduced rates of microvascular disease in the past decades109–111, whereas data on CVD suggest that substantially less progress has been made in reduction of macrovascular disease rates111–113.”

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.
