Popis: Introduction The impact of LDL-C on the risk of different types of strokes is unclear. Therefore, we systematically evaluated the impact of LDL-C levels (cohort studies) and lipid lowering drugs (LLAs, RCTs) on the different types of stroke. Material and methods PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science and Google Scholar were searched up to 1st September 2019. The DerSimonian-Laird method and generic inverse variance methods were used for quantitative data synthesis. The leave-one-out method was performed as sensitivity analysis. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was used to evaluate the optimal sample size to detect a 35% reduction in outcomes after administration of LLAs. Results Participants at highest category of LDL-C had a lower risk for of hemorrhagic stroke (RR: 0.91, 95%CI 0.85-0.98, I2:0%) compared with the lowest category of LDL-C. Subjects with the highest category of LDL-C had a higher risk of ischemic stroke (RR: 1.11, 95%CI 1.07-1.14, I2:0%) compared to the lowest LDL-C category. LLAs decreased the risk of all types of strokes for those who achieved LDL-C
