Do lipid-lowering agents reduce in-hospital mortality in patients following major noncardiac surgery?
Lipid-lowering therapy may be associated with reduced in-hospital mortality after major noncardiac surgery, though randomized clinical trials are needed for confirmation.
Peter K. Lindenauer (2004) studied this question.
