Aspirin reduces risk of recurrence in patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolism .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Aspirin for preventing the recurrence of venous thromboembolism
N Engl J Med. 2012 May 24;366(21):1959-67. doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa1114238Two weeks following the completion of treatment with vitamin K antagonists, 403 patients with a previous unprovoked venous thromboembolism (VTE) were randomised into two groups. Patients either received 100 mg aspirin or a placebo, once per day for 2 years, to measure the recurrence of VTE. Following assessments every 3 months in the first year and every 6 months in the second year, the results demonstrated that aspirin, taken after anticoagulant treatment, was effective in preventing recurrence of unprovoked VTE.
