Variation in statin prescription among veterans with HIV and known atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease

Central Illustration: Figure illustrates, (a) forest plot showing several individual-level characteristics that predict statin prescription in a multivariable regression model, (b) bar graph showing significant variation in statin prescription across VA Medical Centers – among Veterans with HIV and known ASCVD.The black boxes in (a) represent the odds ratios and the horizontal bars represent 95% confidence intervals. Each bar graph in (b) represents the percentage of statin prescription in each facility. ASCVD-atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; ICVD - ischemic cerebrovascular disease; PAD-peripheral artery disease; CAD-coronary artery disease; CHF- congestive heart failure; CKD-chronic kidney disease; ECI - Elixhauser comorbidity index; ART- antiretroviral therapy; OR – odds ratio; VAMC – VA Medical Center.
