Discontinuation of Statin Therapy and Clinical and Outcome After Ischemic Stroke
Stroke 38:2652-2657, Colvicchi,F.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A large number of patients discontinue their use of statins early after acute stroke. Moreover, patients discontinuing statins have a significantly increased mortality during the first year after the acute cerebrovascular event. These findings suggest that patient care should be improved during the transition from a hospital setting to outpatient primary care.
