Even in a primary care cohort of 6,621 unselected patients, taken from the prospective cohort DETECT study, we struggled to replicate findings from the larger studies (Bansal et al, 2007; Freiberg et al, 2008)
Triglyceride levels were measured in venous blood samples taken at time of patient enrolment using a Roche Modular automatic analyzer (Roche Diagnostics Scandinavian, Bromma, Sweden)
