This paper reviewed the randomised placebo controlled clinical trials that assessed death rates and statin use. The authors searched the scientific literature and found five trials, namely: 4S, WOSCOPS, CARE, AFCAPS/TEXCAPS and LIPID.
The review found that statin use could be associated with an increase in mortality of 1% in 10 years.
