Ranking of apolipoprotein B (apoB) based on evidence versus guideline recommendations. The clinical recommendations of Evidence-Based Medicine are based on the clinical and experimental evidence. On this scale, apoB outperforms low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). The guideline admits that the evidence favors apoB but prioritize LDL-C/non-HDL-C.
