Why the study?
Does continued statin use reduce the risk of poststroke pneumonia in acute ischemic stroke patients treated with thrombolysis?
Does continued statin use reduce the risk of poststroke pneumonia in acute ischemic stroke patients treated with thrombolysis?
Continued statin use in acute ischemic stroke patients receiving thrombolysis is associated with a significantly reduced risk of poststroke pneumonia.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support statin continuation to lower poststroke pneumonia risk after thrombolysis; hypothesis-generating, needs randomized confirmation.
Scheitz et al. (2012) studied this question.
