Figure 2. Subgroup analyses of the effect of statin use versus non-use on functional decline among frail older adults after myocardial infarction (N=5,440).

Figure 2.

P Values for effect modification by subgroup characteristic.

Functional impairment measured using the Minimum Data Set 28-point Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Scale; Independent to mild impairment is represented by an ADL score of 0 to 14 (independent to limited assistance required with ADLs), moderate impairment is represented by an ADL score of 15 to 19 (extensive assistance required with ADLs), and severe impairment is represented by an ADL score of ≥20 (extensive dependency in ADLs).

Cognitive impairment measured using the Minimum Data Set Cognitive Performance Score (CPS); Intact to Mild Impairment is represented by a CPS score of 0 to 2, and Moderate to Severe Impairment is a score of ≥3.
