Low-Dose Aspirin may increase Risk of Anaemia in Older Adults suggests a study published in the European Heart Journal.
A study was done to assess the risk of anaemia among low-dose aspirin (LDA) exposure in Danish older individuals in a real-world setting. Population based-cohort study conducted using Danish registers. The study population included older individuals (≥65 years) exposed to LDA between 2008 and 2013 for primary or secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. Over a five-year follow-up, outcomes included anaemia incidence based on haemoglobin values and hematinic deficiency incidence based on antianemic prescriptions.
