POISE 2 (Part 1): The safety and efficacy of aspirin following non-cardiac surgery .
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 in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery
N Engl J Med. 2014 Apr 17;370(16):1494-503. doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa1401105. Epub 2014 Mar 3110,010 patients with, or at risk for, major vascular disease, and undergoing non-cardiac surgery were randomized to receive either aspirin or placebo (both with and without clonidine) as part of the Perioperative Ischemic Evaluation 2 (POISE-2) trial. This report, Part 1, summarizes the data pertaining to the safety and efficacy of aspirin, while clonidine-related data is summarized in Part 2. Results over 30 days indicated that, although the aspirin and placebo interventions yielded similar rates for the primary composite outcome (death or non-fatal myocardial infarction), significantly more patients in the aspirin group experienced major bleeding. All other efficacy and safety parameters were similar between groups.
