New Algorithm for Identifying Statin-Induced Myopathy Shows Promising Results
Researchers from the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research have developed a new algorithm to accurately identify cases of statin-induced myopathy (SIM) using electronic health records. The study, published in the journal Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety, found that the algorithm had 76% sensitivity and 77% specificity in detecting SIM cases, with
