N: Number of patients taking drug. M: Number of myopathies. N and M represent sums of counts for each individual statin.

b

Risk is calculated as M/N × 100%.

c

Relative risk is calculated as risk (CQ and statins)/risk (statins alone).

Statistical analysis was performed with the Chi-square test.

*

indicates a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) (CQ and statins vs statins alone).

d

Statins: rosuvastatin, pravastatin, and pitavastatin.

e

Age.
