Continuation of Statins after Acute Intracerebral Haemorrhage and Survival: The Role of Inflammation, Infection, and Indication Bias
Exposure to statins (vs. none) after ICH was associated with lower odds of death at 30 days after adjustment for confounders. Available inflammatory markers, urinary tract infections, and pneumonia did not mediate this association. Indication bias is likely to have contributed to the association observed between statins and mortality in prior studies.
