Background and aims In the primary prevention setting, low-dose aspirin reduces major vascular events (MVEs) by approximately 11% but increases bleeding (MB) 40–50%, implying that net benefit will be most evident when MVE-to-MB ratio is >4. This study aimed to derive cross-validated risk scores for MB MVE use identify groups who may differing benefits from treatment. Methods 431 167 UK Biobank participants without known atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease at baseline were followed...
Purpose Aspirin and omega-3 fatty acids (FAs) are potential disease modifiers of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), but previous studies have produced inconsistent findings. Randomised evidence for the efficacy safety aspirin FAs on AMD is presented in this study. Design ASCEND-Eye a substudy eye effects 2×2 factorial design ASCEND (A Study Cardiovascular Events iN Diabetes) double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial primary prevention cardiovascular events. Reports diagnoses...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background:</bold> The double-blind, 2x2 factorial design, placebo-controlled ASCEND randomized trial compared the effects of 100mg aspirin daily and, separately, 1g omega-3 fatty acids (FAs) on primary prevention cardiovascular disease in 15,480 UK adults with diabetes. We report these treatment allocations scores derived from National Eye Institute’s Visual Function Questionnaire-25 (NEI-VFQ-25) a subset participants involved ASCEND-Eye sub-study....
