Abstract

 Abnormal blood lipid levels are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and lipid panel screening can help health care providers make treatment decisions for adults living with chronic conditions.
 We did not find any studies that met our inclusion criteria on the diagnostic test accuracy or clinical utility of nonfasting lipid panel screening for adults living with chronic conditions.
 Two guidelines recommend a nonfasting lipid panel for the initial screening for cardiovascular disease risk. A fasting lipid panel is recommended if triglyceride levels are high.
 One guideline recommends either fasting or nonfasting lipid panel screening before starting lipid modification therapy in people at risk of cardiovascular disease.
