Negative impact of statin-associated muscle-related adverse effects on six everyday activities (A) and eight general quality-of-life (QOL) domains (B). Data indicate mean ratings of patients with probable or definite muscle-related adverse effects based on Naranjo criteria.27 Error bars indicate standard error, 2-sided p<0.000000001 for all domains. Some patients indicated positive values for both everyday muscle-related activity (26 patients) and general QOL domains (18 patients). Some patients responded with positive values to all QOL domains (everyday muscle-related activity [4 patients], general QOL [8 patients]) indicating possible misinterpretation of the visual analog scales. All other patients indicating positive values (everyday muscle-related activity [22 patients], general QOL [10 patients]) reported at least one or more other domains with negative impact on QOL.
