The risk of lower gastrointestinal bleeding in low ‐dose aspirin users
ConclusionsThe risk of LGIB was higher in low‐dose aspirin users than in aspirin nonusers in this nationwide cohort. Low‐dose aspirin, NSAIDs, steroids, SSRIs, PPIs and H2RAs were independent risk factors for LGIB.

Patient-centered Outcomes with Concomitant Use of Proton Pump Inhibitors and Other Drugs.
Abstract PURPOSE: We performed a systematic review of patient-centered outcomes after the concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and other drugs. METHODS: We searched 4 databases in July 2016 to find studies that reported mortality and morbidity after the concomitant use of PPIs and other drugs. We conducted direct meta-analyses using a random-effects model and graded the quality of evidence according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation working group approach. FINDINGS: We included data from 17 systematic reviews and meta-analyses, 16 randomized controlled t...

Prognosis of concomitant users of clopidogrel and proton-pump inhibitors in a high-risk population for upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
CONCLUSION: Among patients at high risk of upper GI bleeding, those with a concomitant use of PPIs and clopidogrel were at a decreased risk of mortality, and possibly also a decreased risk of recurrence of cardiovascular disease. PMID: 24731755 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Analysis of gastrointestinal prophylaxis in patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel.
CONCLUSION: More than half of the patients did not receive GI prophylaxis appropriately. The most common reason for nonadherence to the consensus document was no prophylaxis when indicated. Vascular events could not be directly attributed to PPI use, and GI events occurred despite prophylaxis. Overall, there was a low incidence of adverse events related to the use of PPI therapy.  PMID: 24456320 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
