摘要：

This retrospective cohort study enrolled 8,768 male Veterans Administration patients with coronary heart disease who were prescribed statins from July 1, 1999, to June 30, 2000. After 18 months of follow-up, 71% of the patients had been dispensed greater than or equal to80% of the medication. Our population's persistence in using statins was higher than in other open-population cohorts but lower than in randomized controlled trials. (C) 2003 by Excerpta Medica, Inc.
