Prior statin use and the incidence of in-hospital arrhythmia in acute coronary syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The benefit of prior statin use to reduce the incidence of arrhythmia in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is still a matter of debate. Statins have multiple pleiotropic effects, which may reduce the incidence of in-hospital arrhythmia. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to evaluate prior statin use and the incidence of in-hospital arrhythmia in ACS.

Methods

This systematic review was conducted as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA). We performed a literature search through Pubmed, Proquest, EBSCOhost, and Clinicaltrial.gov. A random-effect model was used due to moderate heterogeneity. Quality assessment was performed using Newcastle Ottawa Scale. Sensitivity analysis was performed by using leave one or
