ABC World News (6/5, story 3, 2:15, Sawyer) reported, "Today the
'Journal of the American Medical Association' raised a red flag, saying
the risk of bleeding even from low dose aspirin everyday is greater
than they thought."
HealthDay 
(6/6, Gray) reports, "The study
included more than 186,000 people aged 30 or older being treated with
low-dose aspirin and more than 186,000 who were not. During six years,
more than 6,900 first episodes of major bleeding requiring
hospitalization were documented, including nearly 4,500 episodes of
gastrointestinal bleeding and nearly 2,500 episodes of brain
hemorrhage."

bleeding -- an excess of two bleeding cases per 1,000 patients treated
each year."

HeartWire
(6/6, O'Riordan) reports, "This bleeding rate is roughly equal to the
number of major cardiovascular events avoided in primary prevention for
patients with a 10-year risk in the range of 10% to 20%, report the
researchers."
