A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland College of Medicine in America found that people who take daily aspirin are at lower risk of dying from the Coronavirus compared to others.
The study indicated – according to the American Alhurra channel on Friday – that they are less likely to have complications, and less likely to enter the intensive care unit or need oxygen.
The study included 412 patients, nearly a quarter of whom were taking a low dose of aspirin daily before entering the hospital, or they started taking the drug shortly after entering the hospital, and after analyzing the results, the study authors concluded that those who took aspirin decreased their oxygen need by 44%. Percent, and intensive care increased by 43 percent.
Most importantly, the researchers said, those who took aspirin had a 47 percent lower risk of dying in hospital, compared to those who didn’t take it.
Researchers believe that aspirin reduces the risk of corona because it prevents dangerous blood clots that form in the heart, lungs, blood vessels and other organs in the body, which may lead to death due to heart attacks, strokes, and the failure of multiple organs in the body to perform their functions.
