Aspirin Use Is Associated With Decreased Mechanical Ventilation, Intensive Care Unit Admission, and In-Hospital Mortality in Hospitalized Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019
Retrospective 412 hospitalized patients, 98 treated with aspirin, showing lower mortality, ventilation, and ICU admission with treatment.

risk of death, 47.0% lower, RR 0.53, p = 0.02, treatment 26 of 98 (26.5%), control 73 of 314 (23.2%), adjusted per study, Cox proportional hazards.
risk of mechanical ventilation, 44.0% lower, RR 0.56, p = 0.007, treatment 35 of 98 (35.7%), control 152 of 314 (48.4%), adjusted per study, Cox proportional hazards.
risk of ICU admission, 43.0% lower, RR 0.57, p = 0.007, treatment 38 of 98 (38.8%), control 160 of 314 (51.0%), adjusted per study, Cox proportional hazards.
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules
prioritizing more serious outcomes. For an individual study the most serious
outcome may have a smaller number of events and lower statistical signficance,
however this provides the strongest evidence for the most serious outcomes
when combining the results of many trials.

practical, effective, and safe means should be used. Elimination of COVID-19
is a race against viral evolution. No treatment, vaccine, or intervention is
100% available and effective for all current and future variants. Denying the
efficacy of any method increases the risk of COVID-19 becoming endemic; and
increases mortality, morbidity, and collateral damage. We do not provide
