Kaplan–Meier curves for the primary and secondary endpoints.

Although stroke and TIA similarly occurred in the pravastatin and control groups (A), occurrence of atherothrombotic infarction was less frequent in the pravastatin group (B). Occurrence of lacunar infarction (C), cardioembolic infarction (D), and intracranial hemorrhage (E) was similar between the two groups. Hazard ratios are adjusted for the stratification factors at randomization: i.e., stroke subtype (atherothrombotic infarction vs. others), high blood pressure (≥ 150/90 mm Hg vs. not), and diabetes mellitus (absence vs. presence).
