What is Statin Prescription in Botswana Diabetes Care about?
Most patients with type 2 diabetes at a specialized clinic in Botswana were not receiving statins according to guidelines. The study assessed statin prescriptions among 500 patients, finding that only 45.5% of those eligible received a statin. Factors associated with higher prescription rates included higher LDL cholesterol, longer diabetes duration, and chronic kidney disease. The findings indicate underuse of evidence-based statin guidelines and call for improved diabetes quality of care.
