| Abstract | This study evaluated whether statin therapy increases the risk of herpes zoster (HZ) infection in Asia. This retrospective cohort study used the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database (LHID2000). From the LHID2000, patients aged 20 years were divided into two cohorts according to their statin use and were matched at a 1:1 ratio according to propensity scores, which were calculated using a logistic regression for estimating the probability of treatment assignment. The primary outcome was HZ infection. All patients were followed from the index date until the date of HZ infection, withdrawal from the insurance system, or the end of 2011. The study included 53,069 patients receiving statin therapy as a statin cohort and 53,069 patients without statin therapy as a nonstatin cohort. The mean follow-up durations for the statin cohort and nonstatin cohort were 4.89 [standard deviation (SD) = 2.86] years and 4.75 (SD = 2.90) years, respectively. The patients in the statin cohort had a 21 % higher risk of contracting HZ infection than the patients in the nonstatin cohort [95 % confidence interval (CI) = 1.13–1.29]. The incidence of HZ infection increased with the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) score in both cohorts. A high mean defined daily dose of the six types of statins considered in this study was associated with a significantly increased risk of HZ infection. Statin therapy can increase HZ infection in Asia. More benefit–risk evaluations for statin use are necessary in Asia. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
