Subgroup analyses
Among risk subgroups we pre-specified for analyses of pooled data,
hazard ratios of risks for first incident MI for rosuvastatin compared
with placebo are shown in Figure 2 (total numbers of events are
shown in the Supplementary material online, Table S1). Although
we had limited power in these smaller subgroups, lower risks for
MI for participants randomized to rosuvastatin vs. placebo were
observed in the majority of subgroups, especially men and participants
with elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.
There were no consistent or significant findings to suggest differential
risks for stroke across subgroups for rosuvastatin compared
with placebo (data not shown).
