Association of statin pre-treatment with baseline stroke severity and outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke and received reperfusion treatment: An observational study.

Background: Statins have an important role in stroke prevention, especially in high-risk populations and may also affect the initial stroke severity and outcomes in patients taking them before an ischemic stroke.

Aims: Our aim was to evaluate the association of statin pre-treatment with the severity in acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Methods: We identified patients with statin information at baseline.
