Short- and Long-Term Statin Persistence and Determinants in Patients Initiating Statin Therapy
The study reveals the low and declining rates of statin persistence in patients initiating statin therapy, both in the short and long term. Furthermore, persistence rates are lower in younger patients and those initiated on statins for primary prevention compared to those with established cardiovascular risk factors.
