Do Aspirin and Other Antiplatelet Drugs Reduce the Mortality in Critically Ill Patients?

Table 4

Effect of ICU aspirin medication on outcome (odds ratio of mortality*) of patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. The model of stepwise logistic regression included age, APACHE II score and ICU medication with aspirin as independent variables. *ICU mortality.

Variable	Odds ratio (95% CI)
APACHE II score	1.05 (1.03–1.07)
Aspirin	0.55 (0.38–0.81)
