Treatment with statins is linked to a 39% lower 28-day mortality rate among patients hospitalized with sepsis.



Summary

A study revealed that statin treatment significantly reduced mortality in sepsis patients. Hospitalized sepsis patients receiving statins experienced a 39% lower mortality rate within 28 days compared to those not on the medication. This suggests a potential therapeutic benefit of statins in managing sepsis, highlighting the need for further research to confirm these findings and explore the underlying mechanisms. This association warrants attention given the high mortality associated with sepsis and the relatively low cost and widespread availability of statins.
