About this trial

This research employs a cross-sectional study and a retrospective cohort study to analyze the liver safety of statin use among inpatients in the neurology department in China from different perspectives. The aim is to supplement evidence-based medicine and provide guidance for the clinical use of statins.

    Other intervention

    This research was conducted in two phases. Initially, a cross-sectional study was performed to assess the correlation between statin usage prior to hospital admission and the initial state of liver enzymes among patients. Subsequently, a retrospective cohort study was undertaken, wherein patients who had not been on statins prior to admission were categorized into two groups based on their statin usage post-admission.
