Observational data have suggested that statin therapy may reduce mortality in patients with 
infection and sepsis; however, results from randomized studies are contradictory and do not 
support the use of statins in this context. Here, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate 
the effects of statin therapy on mortality from infection and sepsis.
