What is it about?

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a substantial contributor to morbidity and mortality in critically ill medical patients even when appropriate prophylaxis is provided. We aimed to assess whether the addition of aspirin to standard chemoprophylaxis further reduced the risk of VTE in critically ill medical patients. Chemoprophylaxis substantially reduces the rate of VTE. The addition of aspirin to conventional chemoprophylaxis in critically ill medical patients did not confer additional benefit.
