Prescription of statins at discharge and 1-year risk of major clinical outcomes among acute coronary syndromes patients with extremely low LDL-cholesterol in clinical pathways for acute coronary syndromes studies.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate statin description on discharge and the benefit on the long-term outcomes in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) patients with very low baseline LDL-cholesterol (LDL-c).

Methods: This is a post-hoc analysis of 3374 ACS patients who were discharged alive and had baseline LDL-c levels below 70 mg/dL (1.8 mmol/L).

Six-month adherence to Statin use and subsequent risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients discharged with acute coronary syndromes.

Background: The evidence of adherence to statin decreasing risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) is still lack among patients discharged with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Our objective is to determine the relationship between six-month adherence to statins and subsequent risk of MACEs in patients discharged with ACS.

Methods: Using two prospective registry cohorts (CPACS-1 and -2), we analyzed data from 12,516 consecutive patients with ACS who were prescribed statin at hospital discharge and survived beyond 6 months without recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke.

Fatigue is associated with excess mortality in the general population: results from the EPIC-Norfolk study.

This situation may be because clinicians perceive fatigue to be benign, unrelated to traditional biomedical outcomes such as premature mortality.
