Great app !

### 5/5 — An Example of the Impressive Potential of Mobile Apps

*2017-01-03*

This app offers helpful data points when deciding on whether to take aspirin regularly. I think it shows the potential of mobile apps to play important roles in helping us stay healthy.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2016-11-27*

It can be very complicated in balancing all the various factors that are involved in deciding whether to take aspirin prophylactically. This app makes it rather easy. Recommended.

### 5/5 — Simple, informative, quick

### 5/5 — Awesome

### 1/5 — Review aspirin guide 9-18-2016

*2016-09-18, version 1.0.1*

As a 92-year old, would appreciate if a warning that it did not apply over 80 had been furnished in the descriptions of the app. But thanks for putting it out anyway.

### 2/5 — Aspirin Guide

*2019-09-16*

Thank you for the aspirin guide. It does not calculate risk scores or make recommendations for patients that have chronic high RBCs, hemoglobin, and/or platelets; former smokers (which smoking contributes to atherosclerosis); or polycythemia vera. All of which can lead to clot formation, heart attack and/or stroke, especially in a young patient.

### 2/5 — Something wrong

*2018-12-04*

Just did a calculation and rechecked because did not believe the results. 
NNT:757. NNH: 124
Conclusion was to treat?!

### 3/5 — Somnath Baabu

Good

### 3/5 — Failed to include occupation, hazardous, and or falls, risk.

*2017-05-31, version 1.0.1*

I found this guideline actually in my apps, that I had loaded on sometime ago, but found after my patient left the office questioning whether he should be taking a baby aspirin for prevention, and what was my opinion.
This was a patient who is male 42 years old with no significant medical history except historyof slightly high blood pressure, and no contraindication to aspirin under the list that you gave. But I did not see anything to indicate a higher risk of bleeding than in the general population, mainly someone working with cranes, diving equipment,  heavy movements of large objects etc. And at risk for serious injury leaving to heavy bleeding in his job.
I told him that has been was controversial in primary prevention but that his wrist was higher than normal because of his job.I think it might be well for you to include a high-risk job such as that or some other type as it's trending against the recommendation for aspirin in primary prevention.

### 4/5 — Lacking detail

*2018-12-29*

Useful app but... I do not see the major references for what it is based on.  I know it is partially USPSTF.  How long to continue aspirin? Need understanding of NNT and NNH

### 4/5 — NP

*2017-10-11*

Detailed and helpful

### 5/5 — Managing statin muscle pain

*2022-12-25*

61 yo male physician initiated first ever statin with chol 221, Hdl 53,  coronary calcium 1 left circ., 31 LAD and no symptoms with regular exercise history.  Developed severe tendonopathy/myopathy rather quickly at 11 months.  Now suffering 6-7 weeks after d/c therapy from persistent symptoms.  More details of course, but where would this physician find contemporary management considerations?

### 5/5 — Physician

*2021-02-23*

Tremendous!!! The bleeding risk is always my trouble spot!

### 5/5 — helpful

*2021-02-23, version 1.0.2*

### 5/5 — I like it

*2020-04-25*

Presumably some very smart clinicians and statisticians have waded through an Impossibly large set of literature data to help me sit with my patient and give him/her the best possible advice...

### 5/5 — physician

*2019-04-30*

i feel this is a valuable tool in the primary care physician’s armamentarium to help decide if  asa is neefed

### 5/5 — Aspirin

*2019-04-30*

This app is extremely valuable in helping a physician determine whether aspirin therapy is 
appropriate for patients for primary prevention of ASCVD.

### 5/5 — Aspirin

*2019-01-24*

This app was very helpful and allowed an informative discussion about the risk/benefit of taking aspirin in an intermediate risk patient. Love this app!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2018-11-28*

Great tool and as a clinician it’s important to remember that no apps can override clinical judgement.  Love the Info tab’s detail on the papers that have the evidence based medicine to back up the algorithm are easily accessible and a great resource when looking for details.

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2017-04-08*

It is very helpful ; but it is not replaced physician opinion.

### 5/5 — ASA guideline app

*2017-04-08*

Very helpful and informative app
