Relative risk from the meta-regression model for coronary heart disease mortality or myocardial infarction. Analyses were limited to placebo-controlled statin trials of at least 1-year duration that reported the respective outcome measures. The analyses used low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) subgroup data from the trials that reported that information. The models provide outcome estimates for statin therapy vs placebo use for a 5½-year period (midrange of trial follow-up for most included study groups) across a range of values for the typical or average baseline LDL-C level. To convert LDL-C from milligrams per deciliter to millimoles per liter, multiply milligrams per deciliter by 0.02586. For expansions of trial names, see the reference list.
