4-ridker Table 1. Baseline Characteristics of the Women.* There was no evidence that, as compared with placebo, aspirin reduced the overall risk of myocardial infarction (relative risk, 1.02; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.84 to 1.25; P=0.83), fatal myocardial infarction (relative risk, 1.16; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.54 to 2.51; P=0.70), nonfatal myocardial infarction (relative risk, 1.01; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.83 to 1.24; P=0.90), or death from cardiovascular causes (relative risk, 0.95; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.74 to 1.22; P=0.68). However, aspirin therapy was associated with a 22 percent reduction in the risk of transient ischemic attack (relative risk, 0.78; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.64 to 0.94; P=0.01), with no significant effects on the risk of coronary revascularization (relative risk, 1.04; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.90 to 1.20; P=0.61) or death from any cause (relative risk, 0.95; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.85 to 1.06; P=0.32).
