Potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs): frequency and extent of GP-related variation in PIMs: a register-based cohort study.

Objectives: Potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) pose an increasing challenge in the ageing population. We aimed to assess the extent of PIMs and the prescriber-related variation in PIM prevalence.

Design: Nationwide register-based cohort study.

Statins and Risk of Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Individuals With a History of Stroke.

Background and Purpose- It has been suggested that statins increase the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage in individuals with a history of stroke, which has led to a precautionary principle of avoiding statins in patients with prior intracerebral hemorrhage. However, such prescribing reticence may be unfounded and potentially harmful when considering the well-established benefits of statins. This study is so far the largest to explore the statin-associated risk of intracerebral hemorrhage in individuals with prior stroke.

Statins and Risk of Intracerebral Haemorrhage in a Stroke-Free Population: A Nationwide Danish Propensity Score Matched Cohort Study.

Background: Statins may increase the risk of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in individuals with previous stroke. It remains unclear whether this applies to individuals with no history of stroke. This study is the first to explore the statin-associated risk of ICH in stroke-free individuals while considering the timing of statin initiation.
