    Equations to estimate the concentration of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in patients of the Central Military Hospital 2022

    The measurement of Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL) is one of the tests included in the lipid profile, helping to determine whether a patient has hypercholesterolemia or hypocholesterolemia, both of which are associated with several diseases, including cardiovascular conditions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic utility of equations used to estimate LDL levels in patients at the Central Military Hospital in 2022. A comparative descriptive study was carried out, comparing four equations for calculating LDL cholesterol with direct methodology. A substantial number of serum samples from patients requesting a lipid profile were processed using a chemical analyzer. Results from the direct LDL cholesterol measurement were used as a reference for comparing the equations. Data was analyzed using Excel 365, and statistical tests were performed with SPSS version 22.
