    AbstractThis retrospective analysis aimed to compare the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) between patients with diabetes mellitus who received hydrophilic statin treatment to those who receive lipophilic statin. There were 6639 patients receiving hydrophilic statin therapy and 10,854 patients receiving lipophilic statin therapy in the study. The hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for VTE were estimated using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models when the study cohorts were compared. Among all patients, the incidence rate of VTE was 4.27 per 1000 person-years in the control cohort, 4.18 per 1000 person-years in the hydrophilic statin use cohort, and 3.91 per 1000 person-years in the lipophilic statin use cohort. After adjusting for age, sex, and comorbidities, the risk of VTE in the hydrophilic statin use cohort was 0.90 (0.72, 1.12) lower than that in the control cohort, the risk of VTE in the lipophilic statin use cohort was 0.87 (0.72, 1.05) lower than that in the control cohort, and the risk of VTE in the lipophilic statin use cohort was 0.97 (0.78, 1.21) lower than that in the hydrophilic statin use cohort. However, all were not statistically significant. Our result showed that there was no significant difference among the study cohorts regarding the outcome of VTE.Copyright © 2022 the Author(s).
