Statins, typically used to lower cholesterol, may help lower the risk of death among sepsis patients by 39 per cent, according to a study. The new study examined information on sepsis patients who received statins during a stint in intensive care and compared it with patients in a similar situation who did not receive them. Some 14.3 per cent of 6000 sepsis patients who were given statins died within 28 days. This is compared with 23.4 per cent of 6000 patients who did not receive statin therapy.
