description | BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Knowledge regarding the pharmacological treatment for moyamoya disease (MMD), a chronic and progressive cerebrovascular disease conferring greater stroke risk, is limited. In the present study, whether statin therapy is associated with a reduced risk of stroke in patients with MMD was investigated. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study in which the occurrence of stroke in patients with newly diagnosed MMD was investigated using the nationwide health insurance database in Korea from January 2007 to March 2021. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression model was constructed for stroke, in which statin therapy after MMD diagnosis was treated as a time-dependent variable. Adjustment was done for sex, age, presence of comorbidities, concurrent stroke, revascularisation surgery and treatment with antiplatelets. RESULTS: The present study included 13 373 newly diagnosed patients with MMD; 40.8% had a concurrent stroke at the time of MMD diagnosis. During the mean follow-up of 5.1±3.3 years, 631 patients (4.7%) suffered a stroke event (haemorrhagic stroke: 458 patients, ischaemic stroke: 173 patients). Statin therapy after MMD diagnosis was significantly associated with a reduced risk of stroke (adjusted HR 0.74; 95% CI 0.60 to 0.91, p=0.004). In the secondary outcome analysis, the risk of haemorrhagic stroke (adjusted HR 0.74; 95% CI 0.58 to 0.95, p=0.018) and ischaemic stroke (adjusted HR 0.75; 95% CI 0.52 to 1.08, p=0.124) were reduced with the statin treatment. Taking statins was also associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 0.47; 95% CI 0.33 to 0.67, p<0.001). CONCLUSION: In patients with MMD, statin therapy was associated with a reduced risk of subsequent stroke. The findings indicate statin treatment may be beneficial for patients with MMD, however the results should be confirmed in randomised controlled trials. |
