final nice guidance on statins released

we have discussed the draft nice guidance on statins before that suggests reducing (potentially) the threshold for statin prescription to a 10% 10 year CV risk (currently 20% 10 year risk). The final guideline is just published http://www.bmj.com/content/349/bmj.g4694 and sticks with this threshold giving an estimated number needed to treat of 77 people to avoid one death/stroke/non-fatal MI after 3 years.
