Risk of Non-fatal and Fatal cardiovascular events associated to non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in randomised controlled trials.

<p>*Crude Rate Ratios and exact 95% CI are calculated for each study dividing the rate of events in treatment arms over the rate of events in control arms. Crude rates are estimated from the reported number of events and the patient-years of exposure in each arm.</p><p>†Prior History of Coronary Heart Disease.</p><p>ASA: Acetyl Salicylic Acid (aka aspirin); CHD: Coronary Heart Disease; CI: Confidence Interval; MI:Myocardial Infarction; RR: Relative Risk; Tx:Treatment; Crtl: Control.
