520 _aBACKGROUND: Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. However, the cost burden of HTG-related CVD in high-risk US adults on statins has not been well characterized.
520 _aCONCLUSION: In US adults on statins and at high risk for CVD, the health care costs associated with HTG are substantial.

520 _aMETHODS: We estimated population sizes and annual health care costs among US adults aged >=45 years with diabetes or CVD taking statin therapy with normal triglycerides (TGs) defined as TG < 150 mg/dL compared with those with HTG defined as TG >= 150 mg/dL. Population sizes were estimated from the 2007-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Adjusted mean total annual health care costs in 2015 US dollars were estimated using the Optum Research Database. The annual total health care cost burden was estimated by multiplying the population size by the mean annual total incremental health care costs overall and within subgroups.
520 _aOBJECTIVE: We estimated the HTG-related health care cost burden among US adults with CVD or diabetes taking statin therapy.
520 _aRESULTS: There were 6.2 (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.4 - 7.1) million and 12.0 (95% CI, 11.1 - 12.9) million US adults aged >=45 years with diabetes and/or CVD on statin therapy with TG >= 150 mg/dL and TG < 150 mg/dL, respectively. The mean adjusted incremental total one-year health care costs in adults with TG >= 150 mg/dL compared with those with TG < 150 mg/dL was
_1730 (95% CI,
_1160 -
_2320). This leads to a projected annual incremental cost burden associated with HTG in patients with diabetes or CVD on statins of
_10.7 billion (95% CI,
_6.8 B -
_14.6 B).
