Geographic variation in statin use for complex acute myocardial infarction patients: evidence of effective care?
JM Brooks, EA Cook, CG Chapman… - Medical care, 2014 - journals.lww.com
Background: Despite strong evidence to designate statin use for secondary prevention of
cardiovascular disease (CVD) as “effective care,” observational studies show that many
patients with CVD do not receive statins. This suggests that statin prescribing decisions for
complex CVD patients are preference sensitive. Objectives: The aim of this study was to
evaluate local area variation in statin prescribing for subsets of complex patients after acute
myocardial infarction (AMI) to assess whether current statin prescribing patterns fit profiles of …
