Methods: We conducted the Impact of Statin Therapy on the Risk of Stroke Recurrence, Mortality, and Dementia After Ischemic Stroke (ISMARDD) meta-analysis, synthesizing evidence from 51 studies (n = 521,126), to evaluate the association between post-stroke statin therapy and key outcomes: all-cause mortality, stroke recurrence, cognition, and C-reactive protein (CRP). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is dementia.
