Identifying Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Events Among Active-Duty Service Members and Veterans Prescribed Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)

Abstract

The results of this study indicate that age, initial NSAID exposure, and comorbidities are more predictive than NSAID-specific factors such as COX-selectivity and dose. The results provide the framework for development of a risk score to improve prediction of NSAID-associated cardiovascular events.
