What is the effect of preoperative aspirin use on mortality in coronary artery bypass grafting patients?
Studies have found that preoperative aspirin use is associated with improved postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. A study by Dacey et al. (2000) found that preoperative aspirin use was associated with a reduction in mortality in coronary artery bypass grafting patients. Additionally, a study by Mangano et al. (2002) found that preoperative aspirin use was associated with a reduced risk of death from any cause up to 30 days after surgery.
