Correction: Aspirin

Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine. 2013 July;80(7):435

A typographical error appeared in Figure 1 of: Park K, Bavry AA. Aspirin: its risks, benefits, and optimal use in preventing cardiovascular events (Cleve Clin J Med 2013; 80:318–326). The lower left side of the figure, discussing the use of aspirin for primary prevention in men, should read as follows:

Assess risk of myocardial infarction (https://hp2010.nhlbihin.net/atpiii/calculator.asp); give aspirin if:

  • Age 45–59 and 10-year risk ≥ 4%
  • Age 60–69 and 10-year risk ≥ 9%
  • Age 70–79 and 10-year risk ≥ 12%
