Statin Withdrawal Beyond Acute Phase Affected Outcome of Thrombolytic Stroke Patients An Observational Retrospective Study

摘要

Statin withdrawal is associated with deleterious outcome on stroke patients. Whether risk changes over time, depends on concomitant treatment of intravenous thrombolysis, or both remains to be clarified. We assessed the influence of statin withdrawal within 3 weeks while initiated in acute phase (72 hours) among patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis.
