Comparison of the effectiveness and safety of 2 aspirin doses in secondary prevention of cardiovascular outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease: A subgroup analysis of ADAPTABLE

Am Heart JPublished Secondary analysis of the ADAPTABLE randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

Patients with CKD were more likely than those without CKD to have adverse cardiovascular events or death and were also more likely to have major bleeding requiring hospitalization. However, there was no association between ASA dose and study outcomes among these patients with CKD.

Primary endpoint
Composite of all-cause death, MI or stroke (effectiveness); hospitalization for major bleeding (safety)
