About this study

This study is designed as a non-interventional, multicenter, prospective observational study for patients with hypertension and dyslipidemia. If a patient voluntarily provides written consent to provide information for this study, the enrollment number will be assigned to subjects who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria, and follow-up will be conducted for approximately 12 weeks. Pre-specified study-related data will be collected in the case report form during the observation period.

This is an observational study, and the number or interval of subjects' visits to the hospital is determined by the investigators' clinical judgment under actual medical circumstances in principle. Whether to participate in this study will not affect the patients' treatment (physician's prescription or diagnostic, therapeutic decisions).

The follow-up time points specified below indicate the time points of data collection. That is, the schedule of subjects' visits is freely determined by the investigators based on the medical condition of the subjects regardless of the follow-up time points specified in this protocol, but data that are generated during the study period and are deemed necessary in relation to the study may be collected in the case report form.

Primary outcomes

  1. Blood pressure controlled to the target level

    Time frame: Week12

    Proportion of patients with blood pressure controlled to the target level (SiSBP, SiDBP) according to '2018 Guidelines for Management of Hypertension2' at Week 12. Site staff will be measuring Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure.

  2. LDL-C controlled to the target level

    Time frame: Week 12

    Proportion of patients with LDL-C controlled to the target level according to 'Guidelines for Management of Dyslipidemia 4th Edition1' at Week 12

Secondary outcomes

  1. Medication Satisfaction Questionnaire

    Time frame: Week 12

    Score (or change in the scores) of Medication Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) assessed by patients at Week 12/ The scale title is MSQ(Medication satisfaction Questionnaire). The minimum score is '1' and maximum score is '7'. Higher score means a better outcome.

  2. Average cost-effectiveness ratio (ACER)

    Time frame: Week 12

    Average cost-effectiveness ratio (ACER) of the study drug at Week 12

  3. both blood pressure and LDL-C controlled

    Time frame: Week 12

    Proportion of patients with both blood pressure and LDL-C controlled to the target level simultaneously at Week 12

  4. non-HDL-C controlled

    Time frame: Week 12

    Proportion of patients with non-HDL-C controlled to the target level at Week 12

  5. Change in blood pressure

    Time frame: Week 12

    Change in blood pressure at Week 12 from baseline

  6. Change in Lipid panel

    Time frame: Week 12

    Lipid panel at Week 12 from baseline

    • Percent change in TC
    • Percent change in HDL-C
    • Percent change in TG
    • Percent change in LDL-C
