Aspirin for COVID-19
19th treatment shown to reduce risk in March 2021
 
*, now known with p = 0.00014 from 72 studies, recognized in 2 countries.
Lower risk for mortality and progression.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine complementary and synergistic treatments. * >10% efficacy in meta analysis with ≥3 clinical studies.
3,900+ studies for 60+ treatments. c19early.org
Retrospective database analysis of 22,660 patients tested for COVID-19 in South Korea. There was no significant difference in cases according to aspirin use. Aspirin use before COVID-19 was related to an increased death rate and aspirin use after COVID-19 was related to a higher risk of oxygen therapy.
risk of death, 700.0% higher, RR 8.00, p = 0.03, treatment 6 of 15 (40.0%), control 1 of 20 (5.0%), PSM, prior aspirin use.
risk of mechanical ventilation, 433.3% higher, RR 5.33, p = 0.14, treatment 4 of 15 (26.7%), control 1 of 20 (5.0%), PSM, prior aspirin use.
risk of ICU admission, 433.3% higher, RR 5.33, p = 0.14, treatment 4 of 15 (26.7%), control 1 of 20 (5.0%), PSM, prior aspirin use.
risk of case, 33.4% lower, RR 0.67, p = 0.29, treatment 15 of 136 (11.0%), control 20 of 136 (14.7%), NNT 27, adjusted per study, odds ratio converted to relative risk, PSM, logistic regression, prior aspirin use.
risk of death, 33.7% lower, RR 0.66, p = 0.22, treatment 14 of 124 (11.3%), control 23 of 135 (17.0%), NNT 17, PSM, aspirin treatment after diagnosis.
risk of mechanical ventilation, 102.2% higher, RR 2.02, p = 0.16, treatment 13 of 124 (10.5%), control 7 of 135 (5.2%), PSM, aspirin treatment after diagnosis.
risk of ICU admission, 90.5% higher, RR 1.91, p = 0.36, treatment 7 of 124 (5.6%), control 4 of 135 (3.0%), PSM, aspirin treatment after diagnosis.

Background and Objectives: Aspirin is used globally to reduce pain and inflammation; however, its effect in patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is not fully investigated and remains controversial. We evaluated the association between aspirin and COVID-19 outcomes using nationwide data from the Korean National Health Insurance System. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective observational cohort study that included 22,660 eligible patients who underwent COVID-19 testing in South Korea between 1 January-31 July 2020. We identified all aspirin users prescribed aspirin within two weeks before or after the index date. The primary outcome was positivity for the COVID-19 test, and secondary outcomes included conventional oxygen therapy, intensive care unit, mechanical ventilation, or death. We applied the propensity score matching method to reduce the possible bias originating from the differences in patients' baseline characteristics. Results: Of those eligible, 662 patients were prescribed aspirin. Among them, 136 patients were on aspirin within two weeks before diagnosis and 526 patients were on aspirin after diagnosis. The COVID-19 test positivity rate was not significantly different according to aspirin use. Aspirin use before COVID-19 was related to an increased death rate and aspirin use after COVID-19 was related to a higher risk of the conventional oxygen therapy. Conclusion: Aspirin use was associated with adverse effects in COVID-19 patients. Further studies for mechanisms are needed.
