Abstract
We thank Dr. Guo for the comment on our article.1 We did not collect specific information on statin use in the current study. We, thus, cannot examine whether statin use was associated with altered risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Published studies regarding the relationship between statin use and ICH generated inconsistent results. For example, although Ribe et al.2 reported an association between statin use and reduced ICH risk, McKinney et al.3 reported a trend between low LDL-C concentrations due to statin therapy and higher ICH risk (OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.88–1.32; p = 0.47). Thus, more studies are warranted to understand a relationship between lipid-lowering medication use and risk of ICH.
