Article Synopsis
- Peri-operative complications are frequent and can lead to significant health issues; using statins effectively may help reduce these risks.
- A study examined adherence to statin guidelines among 8,116 high-risk patients undergoing major surgery, finding that about 52.1% were indicated for statin therapy, but only 57.7% were actually on them before surgery.
- Results showed that adherence to statins was lower in women and that those on statins had slightly increased odds of experiencing myocardial injury (PMI) post-surgery, with 4.6% experiencing cardiac complications within 120 days.
