Harms, limitations explored in Reuters Health
Our Review Summary
A
strong story that describes in clear terms the findings as well as the
strengths and weaknesses of this study. It covered potential biases that
could not be controlled, mentioned harms, and was overall very
cautious. It would have been even stronger had it mentioned that the
study was observational in nature and therefore not capable of telling
us whether the aspirin, or some other factor, is responsible for the
benefit that was seen. It also did not mention alternatives for
colorectal cancer prevention such as proven effective screening
practices. But these are relatively minor omissions in coverage that was
otherwise quite exemplary.
