ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To systematically review whether statins can reduce the risk of infection and infection-related mortality.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We searched the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, Elsevier and CBM databases for randomized placebo-controlled trials of statins published by September 2013, and each trial enrolled at least 100 participants with follow-up for at least 4 weeks. Two reviewers independently assessed the quality of the included studies and extracted the relevant data for analysis using Stata 12.0 software.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Sixteen trails involving a total of 48973 patients were included in our meta-analysis. The results showed that statins significantly reduced the risk of infection (OR=0.93, 95% CI 0.89 to 0.98, P=0.004) compared to placebo but did not significantly lower infection-related mortality (OR=0.96, 95% CI 0.82 to 1.12, P=0.592).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Statins can significantly reduce the risk of infection but does not lower infection-related mortality.</p>
