Ability of longitudinal claims data to predict whether a lab test was performed, a test result was available, and the actual serum level for three biomarkers of cardiovascular risk*. * c-statistics were computed from multivariate logistic regression models including patient factors measured during 6 months before lipid-lowering treatment initiation; r² measured were computed only among patients who had a lab test result available from linear regression including patient factors measured during 6 months before lipid-lowering treatment initiation, actual treatment choice, as well as cardiovascular events and death during follow-up
