An article published this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine analyses randomised controlled trials of the safety and impact of aspirin on vascular and nonvascular outcomes in primary prevention. ABC radio's AM program yesterday included an interview with one of the authors of the study, Kausik Ray, who outlined the increased risk of internal bleeding connected with aspirin.
The original article is available in full text through CIAP, but please contact your health library if you have trouble accessing it:
