Abstract

Hemorrhagic stroke is a neurologic injury resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Some studies noted an increasing risk of hemorrhagic stroke in patients receiving statin. However, growing evidence have demonstrated the neuroprotective effects of statin in hemorrhagic stroke. Objectives: To determine the pattern of statins use in hemorrhagic stroke. Methods: Observational retrospective study using Patient Medical Records from January 2015 â€" December 2016. Results and Conclusion: We obtained 15 patients (6.5%) who received statins therapy from 230 total patients with hemorrhagic stroke. Statins used are atorvastatin in 13 patients (87%) and simvastatin in 2 patients (13%). The dosage of atorvastatin was 20 mg orally, once daily, and the dosage of simvastatin was 20 mg orally, once daily. All patients who received statins showed an improvement profile outcomes.
