EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF LIPID-LOWERING THERAPIES IN COMBINATION WITH OR WITHOUT STATIN TO REDUCE THE CARDIOVASCULAR RISK: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIALS

Efficacy and safety of lipid-lowering therapies in combination with or without statin to reduce the cardiovascular risk: A systematic review of randomised controlled trials

Background and aims: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) pose a significant global health burden.Lowering low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol is the primary therapeutic aim for preventing primary and secondary CVD events.While statins are the standard treatments, their limitations, such as side effects and intolerance in certain patient groups, necessita

From the index case to global spread: the global mobility based modelling of the COVID-19 pandemic implies higher infection rate and lower detection ratio than current estimates

Background Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, multiple efforts of modelling of the geo-temporal transmissibility of the virus have been undertaken, but none describes the pandemic spread at the global level.The aim of this research is to provide a high-resolution global model of the pandemic that overcomes the problem of biased country-le
