Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between statin use and in-hospital mortality in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).
- Statin users showed a significantly lower risk of overall and cardiovascular-related mortality compared to nonusers, with the most notable benefit seen from atorvastatin.
- The findings suggest that using statins, particularly atorvastatin, may enhance survival rates in hospitalized AKI patients, although the benefits didn't extend to other complications like sepsis-related mortality or kidney recovery rates.
