Statins reportedly have anti\u2010inflammatory effects aside from their lipid\u2010lowering impact. We investigated the effects of statin therapy on the level of C\u2010reactive protein (CRP) or highly sensitive CRP (hs\u2010CRP), a liver\u2010derived marker of systemic inflammation, among stroke patients. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. An online search was performed in Scopus, PubMed\/MEDLINE, ISI Web of Science, and Google Scholar up to November 2020 to recognize clinical trials investigating the effects of statins on the CRP level in stroke patients. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Overall, nine studies (11 treatment arms) with 1659 participants met the inclusion criteria. Six out of 9 studies (8 out of 11 arms) were categorized as studies with a high\u2010quality methodological approach using the Cochrane Collaboration\u2019s tool. Data from 5 treatment arms indicated a significant decrease in CRP concentration, and in one treatment arm, CRP concentration did not suggest any considerable alteration following statin therapy. Moreover, two treatment arms showed a significant reduction in hs\u2010CRP concentration and three treatment arms revealed no significant alteration in hs\u2010CRP concentration following statin therapy. Generally, results were heterogeneous and independent of the type of statin, statin dose, treatment duration, and changes in plasma low\u2010density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. The results suggest that statin therapy could reduce and, therefore, could be considered in these patients as potential anti\u2010inflammatory agents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/7104934","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,28]],"date-time":"2021-08-28T13:20:07Z","timestamp":1630156807000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["The Effect of Statins on C\u2010Reactive Protein in Stroke Patients: A Systematic Review of Clinical Trials"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"given":"Babak","family":"Alikiaii","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zahra","family":"Heidari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad","family":"Bagherniya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gholamreza","family":"Askari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thozhukat","family":"Sathyapalan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8656-1444","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amirhossein","family":"Sahebkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/3238165"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000017218"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCRESAHA.116.308398"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1503\/cmaj.140355"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1189\/jlb.1109766"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s13311-016-0483-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_2","first-page":"611","article-title":"C-reactive protein and other markers of inflammation in hemodialysis patients","volume":"4","author":"Heidari B.","year":"2013","journal-title":"Caspian Journal of Internal Medicine."},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MBC.0000000000000398"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/VHRM.S1653"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_2","article-title":"Statin in the treatment of patients with myocardial infarction: a meta-analysis","volume":"97","author":"Han X.","year":"2018","journal-title":"Medicine"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2459\/JCM.0000000000000746"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2018-023085"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.semcancer.2020.08.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arr.2020.101024"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.plipres.2015.08.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jcsm.12654"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5114\/aoms.2020.94655"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1160\/TH14-11-0937"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1160\/th15-08-0620"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/srep09902"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/1570159X12666140923210929"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0004563217693651"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11883-009-0075-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_24_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.286.1.64"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_25_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-151-4-200908180-00135"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_26_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"HigginsJ.
