The one that may be of interest to us;
Discontinuing statins near the end of life is safe, improves patient quality of life:
For patients with a life-limiting illness, stopping statins in the last

This includes reduced headache, muscle pain and inflammation,
drowsiness, and dizziness, as well as substantially reduces the cost of
care.
