Abstract Aim Our aim was to test the assertion that in terms of rate or severity level, adverse events (AEs) after fine-needle aspiration biopsies (FNABs) of thyroid nodules are unfazed by daily low-dose (100 mg) aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, ASA) intake. Methods We selected 268 patients for study, grouped as ASA-treated (PASA, n=78) or control (PCtrl, n=190) subjects. Controls received no antithrombotic medication. AE rates and severities were then analyzed based on patient- and nodule-related factors. We also compared group rates of non-diagnostic cytology results. Results AEs arising after FNABs (PASA, 5%; P…
