Aspirin in the primary and secondary prevention of vascular disease: collaborative meta-analysis of individual participant data from randomised trials.

TLDR
In primary prevention without previous disease, aspirin is of uncertain net value as the reduction in occlusive events needs to be weighed against any increase in major bleeds.

Aspirin Use Is Associated with a Reduced Incidence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Aspirin use was associated with a significant reduction in HCC risk and benefits appeared to increase with increasing dose and duration of aspirin use, as well as in subgroup analyses.

Effect of Aspirin Dose on Mortality and Cardiovascular Events in People with Diabetes: A Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: This systematic review identified an important gap in randomized controlled trial evidence for using 101–325 mg aspirin daily in diabetes and concluded available data does not support an aspirin dose-response effect for prevention of cardiovascular events in diabetic patients.

Migraine and cardiovascular disease in women and the role of aspirin: Subgroup analyses in the Women’s Health Study

TL;DR: In post-hoc subgroup analyses of the Women’s Health Study, aspirin had similar protective effects on ischaemic stroke for women with or without migraine, while data suggest that women with MA on aspirin had increased risk of MI.

Oral antiplatelet therapy for atherothrombotic disease: current evidence and new directions.

TL;DR: The second-generation P2Y(12) inhibitor ticagrelor plus aspirin demonstrated superior ischemic outcomes, including reduction in total mortality, versus clopidogrel plus aspirin, but event rates remain high, and major bleeding not related to coronary artery bypass grafting is increased.

Efficacy and safety of cholesterol-lowering treatment: prospective meta-analysis of data from 90,056 participants in 14 randomised trials of statins.

TL;DR: Statin therapy can safely reduce the 5-year incidence of major coronary events, coronary revascularisation, and stroke by about one fifth per mmol/L reduction in LDL cholesterol, largely irrespective of the initial lipid profile or other presenting characteristics.

Collaborative meta-analysis of randomised trials of antiplatelet therapy for prevention of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke in high risk patients

TL;DR: Aspirin (or another oral antiplatelet drug) is protective in most types of patient at increased risk of occlusive vascular events, including those with an acute myocardial infarction or ischaemic stroke, unstable or stable angina, previous myocardian infarctions, stroke or cerebral ischaemia, peripheral arterial disease, or atrial fibrillation.

Body-mass index and cause-specific mortality in 900 000 adults: collaborative analyses of 57 prospective studies

TL;DR: Below the range 22.5-25 kg/m(2), BMI was associated inversely with overall mortality, mainly because of strong inverse associations with respiratory disease and lung cancer, despite cigarette consumption per smoker varying little with BMI.
