PCV70 Examining Medication Adherence and Low Density Lipoprotein- Cholesterol (LDL-C) Goals among Tricare Beneficiaries Receiving Statin Therapy for Secondary Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease in US Military Treatment Facilities

Abstract

ϩA$4942 (95% CI $3509 to $6375) more in mean total costs compared to cerebrovascular (CerVD) patients respectively. A history of atrial fibrillation (AF), PAD and diabetes was associated with higher resource utilization. CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis has found that significant predictors of resource utilization and medical costs were PAD, AF, and diabetes. The results highlight the need for policies that target reducing the number of co-morbidities, which will decrease the incidence of PAD, AF and diabetes in population, given current and projected burden. This data provide the necessary framework for economic evaluations of health interventions.
