Fig. 1 Forest plots displaying the association between current statin use compared with never use for the multivariable adjusted HRs of consultation or surgery for OA of the hip or knee. Panel A shows results for non-surgically and surgically treated OA, panel B shows the same outcome but with the analysis restricted to patients using antihypertensives, panel C shows the results for the outcome surgically treated OA without any restriction in the databases, and panel D shows the results for the outcome surgically treated OA restricted to an analysis of patients using antihypertensives.

Fig. 3 Forest plots displaying HRs of consultation or surgery for OA of the hip or knee by low, medium and high dose of current statin use, with never users of statin as the reference. Panel A shows results without cohort restriction and panel B shows results in users of antihypertensives.
