Prehospital statin and aspirin use and the prevalence of severe sepsis and acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome*

Abstract: Objectives To determine if prehospital statin use is associated with a lower risk of sepsis, ALI/ARDS, and mortality in critically ill patients. We also investigated the effect of combined prehospital use of both statins and aspirin. Design Cross-sectional analysis of a prospective cohort Patients 575 critically ill patients admitted to the medical or surgical ICU of an academic tertiary-care hospital Measurements and Main Results Of 575 patients, 149 (26%) were on statin therapy prior to hospitalization… Show more

“…Various experimental studies of ARDS have shown a beneficial effect of aspirin on reducing pulmonary inflammation 11. Similarly, in observational studies, patients on aspirin therapy prior to hospitalisation had a reduced incidence of ARDS12 13 and organ dysfunction14. In contrast, the recent LIPS-A study, which prospectively treated patients at risk of developing ARDS with aspirin, showed no reduction in incidence of ARDS 15.…”

“…Our group reported in a prior study of 575 patients in the Validating Acute Lung Injury Markers for Diagnosis (VALID) cohort, that concurrent statin and aspirin use, but not aspirin alone, was associated with reduced risk of ARDS (19). However, this study was likely underpowered to show an independent association between prehospital aspirin use and reduced risk of ARDS, given the large proportion of patients who were receiving both prehospital statin and prehospital aspirin therapy.…”

“…This analysis included the previously studied 575 patients as well as patients who were enrolled in the VALID cohort after our previous study was published (19). The aim of the study was to investigate the association between prehospital aspirin therapy and development of ARDS in a heterogeneous group of critically ill patients at high risk for ARDS as well as in the subgroup of patients with sepsis, adjusting for propensity to receive aspirin.…”
