The correlation coefficients of Friedewald’s and the Rao’s LDL-c equations with direct measurement in determining levels of LDL-c from 3 matching studies. Both equations established a positive correlation with the direct method of measuring LDL-c; however, Friedewald’s equation demonstrated a stronger positive correlation with the direct method [0.95 (95% CI 0.82–0.99)] than the Rao’s LDL-c equation [0.93 (95% CI 0.60–0.99)]
