Background Our objective in this study is to know the impact of the use of asprin in anti-aggregation dose on the evolution during hospitalization of patients admitted in intensive care unit for a severe infection by SARS-COV-2.
Methods We conducted a prospective study of patients admitted to our department with severe COVID-19 infection during the period between March 2020 and March 2022, analyzing the difference between the placebo group and the aspirin group on the primary endpoint of all-cause hospital mortality and the composite secondary endpoint of use of mechanical ventilation and thromboembolic events.
Results Out of 1124 patients included, 32.6% died, with a protective effect of aspirin against placebo (Hazardratio = 0.691, p = 0.003), for thrombo-embolic complications, 104 events were observed, with a protective effect of aspirin (Hazard-Ratio = 0.448 and p = 0.001), nally regarding mechanical ventilation, there was no remarkable bene t on our sample.
Conclusion Given the divergence of results of studies published in the literature, the availability of results of large randomized controlled trials is a necessity.
