Benefit and safety of dual anti-platelet therapy after coronary artery bypass grafting: a Meta-analysis of 15 studies
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective Under the method of a Meta-analysis, evaluate the early and long-term curative effect after coronary artery bypass grafting with the comparison of benefit and safety between dual anti-platelet therapy and aspirin therapy alone. Methods Medline, Embase, ScienceDirect and Cochrane Library were searched to identify randomized controlled trials concerning the comparison of benefit and safety between dual anti-platelet therapy and aspirin therapy alone, with extraction effect sizes including mortality, bleeding events, myocardial ischemia and graft occlusion. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and Jadal scales were used to evaluate the quality of observational case-control studies and randomized controlled studies. Statistical analysis was performed using Meta R. 15.2 software package. Results 15 literatures were enrolled for Meta-analyses, including 8 randomized controlled studies, 3 prospective observational studies and 4 retrospective observational studies. Among a total of 31 365 patiens, 8 642 patients were received combination therapy of aspirin and clopidogrel after CABG, and 22 723 patients were received combination therapy of aspirin and placebo or aspirin therapy alone. The Meta-analysis results, with comparison of the early postoperative curative effect in 13 literatures, showed that, relative to aspirin therapy alone, dual anti-platelet therapy could reduce the risk of graft occlusion(OR=0.53, 95%CI: 0.37-0.76, P=0.001), reduce the risk of myocardial ischemia(OR=0.84, 95%CI: 0.71-0.99, P=0.038), reduce the risk of mortality after CABG(OR=0.47, 95%CI: 0.36-0.61, P<0.001), simultaneously not increase the risk of bleeding events. The Meta-analysis results, with comparison of the long-term postoperative curative effect in 2 literatures, showed that the significant difference could not be found between two method of therapy about affecting the risk of graft occlusion(OR=0.40, 95%CI: 0.02-6.90, P=0.523), myocardial ischemia(OR=0.49, 95%CI: 0.04-6.10, P=0.597), and mortality(OR=0.55, 95%CI: 0.13-2.80, P=0.420). Conclusion Relative to aspirin therapy alone, dual anti-platelet therapy has better efficacy and safety in early postoperative term. However better long-term curative effect of dual anti-platelet therapy are not be confirmed, and more long-term follow-up studies are necessary to provide evidence based medicine.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
