+
+* `counter` {string} The name of the counter to read. One of:
+
+  * `'fullscanStep'` The number of times SQLite has stepped forward in a table
+    as part of a full table scan.
+  * `'sort'` The number of sort operations that have occurred.
+  * `'autoindex'` The number of rows inserted into transient indices that were
+    created automatically to help joins run faster.
+  * `'vmStep'` The number of virtual machine operations executed by the
+    prepared statement.
+  * `'reprepare'` The number of times the statement has been automatically
+    reprepared due to schema changes or changes to bound parameters.
+  * `'run'` The number of times the statement has run to completion.
+  * `'filterMiss'` The number of times the Bloom filter returned a result that
+    required the join step to be processed as normal.
+  * `'filterHit'` The number of times a join step was bypassed because a Bloom
+    filter returned not-found.
+  * `'memused'` The approximate number of bytes of heap memory used to store
+    the prepared statement.
+
+* Returns: {number} The current value of the requested counter.
+
+Returns one of the runtime counters that SQLite tracks for this prepared
+statement. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_stmt_status()`][] and does
+not reset the counter. Asserting that a statement does not perform a full table
+scan (`statement.stat('fullscanStep') === 0`) is a useful check to guard
+against degenerate performance.
