- W4242138001 abstract "Abstract Background There is evidence of statin benefit among patients with diabetes regardless of their cholesterol levels or prior cardiovascular disease history. Despite the evidence, there is under-prescription of statins in clinical practice. This study aimed to assess statin prescriptions and associated factors among patients with type 2 diabetes in Botswana. Methods The study was a secondary data analysis of 500 randomly selected type 2 diabetes patients at a specialised diabetes clinic at Gaborone, Botswana. We assessed the proportion of statin-eligible patients who are prescribed statins and evaluated the adjusted associations between various factors and statin prescription. Results Overall, 477(95.4%) participants were eligible for statin prescription. Clinicians prescribed statins in 217 (45.5%%) of eligible participants, and only one(4.4%) ineligible participant. The probability of statin prescription was high in participants with high baseline low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (risk ratio [RR]: 1.49; 95%CI: 1.17-1.89), increasing duration of diabetes(RR: 1.01; 95%CI 1.00-1.03) and the presence of chronic kidney disease(RR: 1.35; 95%CI: 1.06-1.74). Conclusion Most patients with type 2 diabetes in Gaborone are not receiving statins. Clinicians did not consider most guideline-recommended indications for statin prescription. The findings call for improvement in diabetes quality of care by implementing evidence-based guideline recommendations." @default.
