[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1021137, member: 196898"] thank you Robert. I have found the info that was missing in the first report, which is the deaths in service figures, on which the 36% claim is probably based. At the end of LLA, 3.6% of the Atorvastatin group died, and 3.9% of the placebo group. During the 6 year extension, it was 16.9% of the Atorvastatin group died, and 19.6% of the placebo group. The report does make it clear that a large number from each group swapped (i.e. stopped or started statin therapy) during the extended period, so the result is a bit muddied. However, it does seem to show a small benefit in terms of clog popping for the statin group after 11 years, but I would have thought 3% rather than 36%. Note: these are all-cause deaths I am listing here, the report does break it down into subgroups. [/QUOTE]
