Statin use has been linked to a reduced risk of advanced colorectal adenomas, but its association with colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) - a high risk population for CRC - remains inconclusive.
From a nationwide IBD cohort in Sweden, we identified 5273 statin users and 5273 non-statin users (1:1 propensity score matching) from July 2006 to December 2018. Statin use was defined as the first filled prescription for ≥30 cumulative defined daily doses and followed until December 2019. Primary outcome was incident CRC. Secondary outcomes were CRC-related mortality and all-cause mortality. Cox regression estimated adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
During a median follow-up of 5.6 years, 70 statin users (incidence rate (IR): 21.2 per 10,000 person-years) versus 90 non-statin users (IR: 29.2) were diagnosed with incident CRC (rate difference (RD), -8.0 (95% CIs: -15.8 to -0.2 per 10,000 person-years); aHR = 0.76 (95% CIs: 0.61 to 0.96)). The benefit for incident CRC was duration-dependent in a nested case-control design: as compared to short-term use (30 days to <1 year), the adjusted odd ratios were 0.59 (0.25 to 1.43) for 1 to <2 years of use, 0.46 (0.21 to 0.98) for 2 to <5 years of use, and 0.38 (0.16 to 0.86) for ≥5 years of use ( = 0.016). Compared with non-statin users, statin users also had a decreased risk for CRC-related mortality (IR: 6.0 vs. 11.9; RD, -5.9 (-10.5 to -1.2); aHR, 0.56 (0.37 to 0.83)) and all-cause mortality (IR: 156.4 vs. 231.4; RD, -75.0 (-96.6 to -53.4); aHR, 0.63 (0.57 to 0.69)).
Statin use was associated with a lower risk of incident CRC, CRC-related mortality, and all-cause mortality. The benefit for incident CRC was duration-dependent, with a significantly lower risk after ≥2 years of statin use.

他汀类药物的使用与晚期结直肠腺瘤风险降低有关,但其在炎症性肠病(IBD)患者(结直肠癌高危人群)中与结直肠癌(CRC)的关联仍不明确。
从瑞典全国性IBD队列中,我们在2006年7月至2018年12月期间确定了5273名他汀类药物使用者和5273名非他汀类药物使用者(1:1倾向评分匹配)。他汀类药物的使用定义为首次开具累计≥30个限定日剂量的处方,并随访至2019年12月。主要结局是新发结直肠癌。次要结局是结直肠癌相关死亡率和全因死亡率。Cox回归估计调整后的风险比(aHRs)和95%置信区间(CIs)。
在中位随访5.6年期间,70名他汀类药物使用者(发病率(IR):每10000人年21.2例)与90名非他汀类药物使用者(IR:29.2例)被诊断为新发结直肠癌(率差(RD),-8.0(95%CI:每10000人年-15.8至-0.2);aHR = 0.76(95%CI:0.61至0.96))。在巢式病例对照设计中,他汀类药物对新发结直肠癌的益处与用药持续时间有关:与短期使用(30天至<1年)相比,使用1至<2年的调整后比值比为0.59(0.25至1.43),使用2至<5年的为0.46(0.21至0.98),使用≥5年的为0.38(0.16至0.86)(P = 0.016)。与非他汀类药物使用者相比,他汀类药物使用者的结直肠癌相关死亡率风险也降低(IR:6.0对11.9;RD,-5.9(-10.5至-1.2);aHR,0.56(0.37至0.83))和全因死亡率风险降低(IR:156.4对231.4;RD,-75.0(-96.6至-53.4);aHR,0.63(0.57至0.69))。
他汀类药物的使用与新发结直肠癌、结直肠癌相关死亡率和全因死亡率的较低风险相关。他汀类药物对新发结直肠癌的益处与用药持续时间有关,使用他汀类药物≥2年后风险显著降低。
