Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate the risk of major bleeding (including gastrointestinal and intracranial bleeding episodes) among new users of low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in clinical practice

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

These will be based on population-based cohorts using data from a primary care database in the UK: The Health Improvement Network (THIN) and will serve to make a clinically meaningful benefit-risk assessment regarding major bleeding consequences of ASA exposure in general population.
