Abstract

Background and Aims: Aim: Diagnostic tools for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), including the Dutch Lipid Clinic Criteria (DLCC), British Simon Broome (SB) and the US Make Early Diagnosis to Prevent Early Deaths (US MEDPED) criteria, are used to identify FH patients. However, their diagnostic outcomes may not be in agreement with each other. Furthermore, the agreement between those criteria is unclear in the Asian population. This study aimed to investigate the agreement between these criteria in an Asian population.
