Different Types of Statins and All-Cause Mortality during Anticoagulation for Venous Thromboembolism: Validation Study from RIETE Registry.

ABSTRACT: Introduction  We previously reported that during the course of anticoagulation for venous thromboembolism (VTE) patients using statins were at a lower risk to die than nonusers. Methods  We used the R egistro I nformatizado E nfermedad T rombo E mbólica (RIETE) registry to validate our previous findings in a subsequent cohort of patients and to compare the risk of death according to the use of different types of statins. Results  From January 2018 to December 2019, 19,557 patients with VTE were recruited in RIETE. Of them, 4,065 (21%) were using statins (simvastatin, 1,406; atorvastatin, 1,328; rosuvastatin, 246; and others, 1,085). During anticoagulation (192 vs.182 days, for statin and no statin users respectively), 500 patients developed a VTE recurrence, 519 suffer
