Statins in High-Risk Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Outpatients: No Impact on Time to First Exacerbation and All-Cause Mortality – The STATUETTE Cohort Study

Damkjær M, Håkansson K, Kallemose T, Ulrik CS, Godtfredsen N. Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis. 2021;16:579–589.

Table 1 Demographics of 950 COPD Patients, Divided by Statin Treatment Status, at a University Hospital Outpatient Clinic

Table 2 A Time-Varying Covariate Cox Proportional Hazard Regression for Association of Statin Use and Hazard Ratio (HR) for Time to First Exacerbation in 950 COPD High-Risk Outpatients

The authors have advised that the statistical analysis script incorrectly labelled patients receiving ICS/LABA-combination inhalers as only receiving LABA. The error has resulted in an incorrect prevalence of ICS treatment in on page 583 (7% instead of the correct 55%) as well as some changes in regression covariable estimates in on page 584. The correct and are shown below.

Page 579, Abstract, Results section, the text “When stratifying for moderate and severe exacerbations in a sub-analysis in the same model, statin use did not have an increased HR for exacerbation of either severity (HR = 1.02 (95% CI 0.85 to 1.24; p = 0.811) and HR = 1.07 (95% CI 0.89 to 1.29; p = 0.492) respectively)” should read “When stratifying for moderate and severe exacerbations in a sub-analysis in the same model, statin use did not have an increased HR for exacerbation of either severity (HR = 1.02 (95% CI 0.85 to 1.23; p = 0.812) and HR = 1.07 (95% CI 0.89 to 1.29; p = 0.457) respectively)”.

Page 584, right column, second paragraph, the text “When stratifying for moderate and severe exacerbations in a sub-analysis in the same model, statin use was not to reduced time to AECOPD for either severity (HR = 1.02 (95% CI 0.85 to 1.24; p = 0.811) and HR = 1.07 (95% CI 0.89 to 1.29; p = 0.492) respectively)” should read “When stratifying for moderate and severe exacerbations in a sub-analysis in the same model, statin use was not to reduced time to AECOPD for either severity (HR = 1.02 (95% CI 0.85 to 1.23; p = 0.812) and HR = 1.07 (95% CI 0.89 to 1.29; p = 0.457) respectively)”.

The authors apologize for the error and advise the prevalence and regression analyses does not change the conclusions of the paper nor does it affect the presented main outcomes of the study.
