Cholesterol levels were reduced by 31.16 mg/dL for total cholesterol and 14.31 mg/dL for LDL-C, illustrating the drug's potency.
The systematic review included data from 18 articles, giving a comprehensive overview of statin efficacy in pediatric patients.
Future research calls for randomized controlled trials to validate the current findings regarding statin effectiveness.
