Baseline use of aspirin or statins with oral estrogen and progestogens to prevent incident arterial or venous thrombotic events: a secondary analysis of the Women’s Health Initiative trial
In this secondary randomized clinical trial analysis, neither statins nor aspirin significantly modified effects of oral HT on key arterial or venous thrombotic outcomes at 2 or 5 years. Results, however, may be underpowered given low baseline exposure prevalence for both statins and aspirin.
