Core Tip	The relation between statin treatment and improvement in outcomes in patients with pneumonia have been reported in published literatures. This is believed to be due to anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory effects rather than an effect on cholesterol metabolism. Recently, however, the potential benefit of statins has been called into question and the study has suggested that there may be confounding factor responsible for the observed benefit. All the studies were observational. In this present meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, results showed the non-significant effect of the statin on mortality outcome.
