Retrospective PSM analysis of 232 hospitalized patients, 28 treated with aspirin, showing lower mortality with treatment. There was no significant difference in viral clearance.

Liu et al., 2/12/2021, retrospective, propensity score matching, China, Asia, peer-reviewed, 8 authors.

risk of death, 75.0% lower, RR 0.25, p = 0.03, treatment 2 of 28 (7.1%), control 11 of 204 (5.4%), adjusted per study, 60 days, KM, PSM.

risk of death, 81.0% lower, RR 0.19, p = 0.02, treatment 1 of 28 (3.6%), control 9 of 204 (4.4%), adjusted per study, 30 days, KM, PSM.

time to viral-, 1.9% higher, relative time 1.02, p = 0.94, treatment 24, control 24, PSM.

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.

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 medical advice.
