Statins linked to increased risk of postoperative delirium

"Older patients who take statins regularly, particularly those past 70, have an increased risk of delirium following elective surgery. After adjusting for other variables, including age and length of surgery, statin use was associated with a 28% increased risk of postoperative delirium, according to Donald A. Redelmeier, M.D., of Sunnybrook Health Services Center of the University of Toronto, and colleagues" - MedPage Today
