Assessment
During a routine check-up you detect a 50-year-old man to have high blood sugar (newly diagnosed diabetic) with no other risk factors present. Apart from OHG agents, what would you consider from a preventive viewpoint? a) Statin + Aspirin b) Aspirin c) Statin
A survey conducted in APICON 2013 alarmingly showed that 43% prescribers would give aspirin or statin and aspirin combination to this patient
Increasing usage of Atorvastatin + Aspirin combination in India 64% of prescribers use statin-aspirin combination for primary prevention1 [Survey of Indian Physicians] What is driving the increased use of this FDC? Benefit of Statin in Primary Prevention well recognised Intent to provide Statin at Low Cost
Adverse effects of aspirin are less well recognised in primary prevention, leading to indiscriminate use
We took a decision to leave aspirin out of a CVD prevention polypill because it is the only component that runs a reasonable chance of serious harm
In the use of aspirin in a combination product for primary prevention, the benefits are lower than risks, and is not supported by guidelines2

Cost of Statin
The indiscriminate use of statin-aspirin is mainly because of the low cost of the combination, but the real cost has to be considered

Statin monotherapy is both safe and effective. Addition of aspirin may introduce unnecessary side effects.

Statin (Rosuvastatin)
Relative risk reduction for cardiovascular event is 4-fold higher than aspirin Absolute risk reduction is 8 times higher (0.59 per 100 person years) than aspirin
Aspirin
Relative risk reduction for cardiovascular event is 12% Absolute risk reduction is 0.07 per 100 person years
Statin alone has a significantly better benefit-risk ratio as compared to aspirin or aspirin/ statin combination

Case-Based Learning
Irrational use of aspirin and atorvastatin
Is associated with complications (stroke/GI bleeding) Is not cost-effective Cost of bleeding events including hospitalisations
Case Study
General Aspects Aspirin is not approved for primary prevention in diabetic and non-diabetic patients Statins and other therapies should be considered to lower CVD event risk before considering aspirin
Aspirin Has modest effect on CVD events Relative risk reduction for cardiovascular event is 12% Absolute risk reduction is 0.07 per 100 person-years Is associated with potentially severe adverse effects Is associated with 54% increase risk of GI bleeding when used for primary prevention
Discussion
Risk Stratification
Risk assessment: Important for early identification of coronary artery diseases and prioritise treatment1 Need for risk stratification: Individualisation of therapeutic strategies for each patient1,2 Characteristics of any good risk score: Simple and easily accessible Contain all parameters Identify target population that might benefit from a specific treatment Widely used scores: Framingham, SCORE, TIMI, GRACE and PURSUIT
