Episode 392: Aspirin – two more large and maybe unnecessary trials

In episode 392, James and Mike get back to work after a European tour and other reasons. We go over the results from the latest large aspirin trials and, low and behold, the results show pretty much what we already knew.

Lancet 2018 Aug 24. pii: S0140-6736
