Abstract
Conclusions: Compared with the 1995 cohort, 1-year persistence with statin therapy in Finland improved among new users of statins in 1998, and the improvement persisted up to 2004. Adherence to statin therapy remained stable among initiators from 1995 to 2004. (Am J Manag Care. 2010; 16(2): 116-122)
