Resumo

Objetivo: Descrever a relação entre a COVID-19 e o tratamento com estatinas em pacientes hospitalizados, de acordo com os atuais estudos desenvolvidos ao logo da pandemia. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, com busca na base de dados PubMed. Foram considerados como critérios de inclusão a confiabilidade dos dados obtidos e suas conclusões, publicações em inglês nos últimos 2 anos (2023 – 2024). Resultados: Nesse contexto, após leitura e análise, foram selecionados 13 artigos. A maioria dos artigos sugere que as estatinas têm associação com possíveis benefícios no tratamento de pacientes com COVID-19, especialmente em relação à redução dos efeitos inflamatórios e tromboembóliticos, reduzindo a mortalidade. Contudo, os resultados apresentam variações significativas entre os estudos, sugerindo que as evidências disponíveis atualmente ainda não são efetivamente suficientes para sustentar com robustez a hipótese de que as estatinas possuem um papel crucial na diminuição da progressão e da mortalidade na doença dos pacientes com COVID-19. Considerações finais: Apesar do uso promissor das estatinas em pacientes hospitalizados com COVID-19, ainda não temos evidências clínicas robustas, sendo necessário realizar mais pesquisas clínicas para validar esses benefícios e estabelecer orientações claras sobre o uso de estatinas no contexto da pandemia da COVID-19.
