Use of Statins for Primary Prevention Among Individuals with CKD in the United States: A Cross-Sectional, Time-Trend Analysis.

Rationale & Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) populations face an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet many remain undertreated with statins for primary prevention of CVD despite meeting eligibility criteria. We examined trends in statin use for primary prevention among individuals with CKD before and after the release of the 2013 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guideline recommending statin use for lipid management in selected adults with CKD.

Study Design: Cross-sectional time-trend analysis.
