Statins are used to prevent atherosclerosis because of their hypolipemic effects. In vitro testing and murine models suggest that statins may affect outcome in sepsis. Our meta-analysis of epidemiological studies in humans confirms that previous statin use appears to have a protective effect on infection rates and outcomes. The studies considered, however, were very different and heterogeneity was high, especially for mortality criteria.
