Abstract
As in previous reports, there was an increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events for NSAIDs. However, NSAID exposure was associated with a reduced risk of death. This study raises important questions about NSAIDs in patients with osteoarthritis given that they seem to increase the risk of cardiovascular events but decrease overall mortality.
