Aim of the study: The benefit of statins for the prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes is well established, but a gap exists between treatment recommendations in guidelines and clinical practice. The aim of the study was to identify patient-related factors predicting the prescription (or not) of a statin in a large cross-sectional data base (DUTY registry).
