About this study

Two Dutch guidelines (Stroke and Cardiovascular Risk Management) provide conflicting advice on optimal statin treatment in older patients. In the SAFEST-cohort, the investigators will assess the impact of continuing versus discontinuing a statin in frail individuals aged 70 and above with a recent ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) on their health-related quality of life and MACE free survival during a two-year follow-up period.
