The use of statins has become increasingly prevalent among Danish patients with ALD cirrhosis, reaching 19.0% in 2018. Employment, cohabitation, and a short education predicted statin initiation after ALD cirrhosis diagnosis, and unemployment predicted statin discontinuation. Overall, statin use was not a marker of a high socioeconomic status.
