Statin therapy in patients with first-ever acute stroke lowers the risk of 6-year stroke recurrence and improves survival in an aging Mediterranean cohort. These results add additional evidence in routine clinical practice to the observed effects of statins in clinical trials.
Background: This study was conducted in order to determine the use of aspirin and to assess the achievement of therapeutic targets in diabetic patients according to primary (PP) or secondary prevention (SP).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
