Impact of LDL-C levels on severity and outcome of intracranial haemorrhage: a single-centre retrospective study by Kang-Po Lee, Li-Chi Hsu

“…Moreover, statin use is associated with better long-term outcome and may attenuate the effects of initial LDL-C in ICH patients.Conclusions In patients with ICH, particularly those with deep ICH, lower LDL-C levels are associated with more severe ICH and higher short-term and long-term mortality rates. Further randomised controlled trials are warranted to determine the optimal LDL-C levels in patients with ICH and dyslipidaemia.…”
