Abstract
BACKGROUND: The traditional recommendation has been to stop Aspirin seven to 10 days prior to coronary artery bypass surgery to reduce the potential risk of bleeding. A few reports have shown that Aspirin did not increase the risk of bleeding and may be beneficial to be continued until the time of surgery. The objective of this review was to evaluate the effect of preoperative Aspirin on bleeding in patients undergoing elective bypass surgery. METHODS: A meta-analysis of 10 randomized and nonrandomized studies reporting comparisons between Aspirin and control was undertaken. The primary outcome was the total amount of postoperative chest tube drainage. Secondary outcomes were the number of units of packed red blood cell transfusion, platelet transfusion, fresh frozen plasma transfusion, and number of patients reexplored for bleeding. RESULTS: Ten studies, involving 1748 patients, met the inclusion criteria for this review of whom 913 were in the Aspirin group and 835 were in the control group. Pooling the results of all studies showed a significant increase in blood loss and transfusion of red blood cells and fresh frozen plasma in the Aspirin group (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the rate of platelet transfusion, or the incidence of reexploration (p > 0.05). Included studies were heterogeneous and of low methodological quality. CONCLUSION: Aspirin is associated with increased chest tube drainage and may be associated with a greater requirement for blood products. High-quality prospective studies are warranted to reassess the effect of Aspirin on important postoperative outcomes.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
