Conclusions Has the ball crossed the line?
Conclusions Has the ball crossed the line? Do ACEIs, ARBs or Statins prevent/alter outcome in pneumonia?
Conclusions • ACEIS and ARBsmay reduce pneumonia frequency • Statins may reduce pneumonia frequency • Statins may reduce pneumonia mortality
RCT of Atorvastatin in Severe Sepsis in ICU 250 critically ill patients (123 statins, 127 placebo) with severe sepsis were administrated either atorvastatin (20mgdaily) or matched placebo Favours statin Favours placebo Kruger et al Am J Respir Crit Care Med Vol 187, Iss. 7, pp 743–750, Apr 1, 2013
Conclusions • ACEIS and ARBsmay reduce pneumonia frequency • Statins may reduce pneumonia frequency • Statins may reduce pneumonia mortality Only Randomised Controlled Trials will answer these questions!
