Family physicians, who are the leaders of primary health care institutions that patients can access easily, should recommend aspirin to patients with suitable indications for primary or secondary protection by evaluating the benefit-harm relationship via the principle of "Primum non nocere". Studies which were conducted in Turkish primary care settings mentioned that there is an irrational and inappropriate use of aspirin in the primary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Aspirin has a role in the primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases, in reducing the incidence of colorectal cancer, in protection related to increased thrombosis risk by some oncology drugs, and in protection from pregnancy complications. Recommendations from current guidelines will lead the way to family physicians regarding the use of aspirin.

Güncel Kılavuzlara Göre Aspirinin Birincil Korunmadaki Rolü: Aile Hekimleri için Öneriler

Öz

Hastaların kolaylıkla ulaşabileceği birinci basamak sağlık kuruluşlarının öncüsü olan aile hekimleri, "Primum non nocere" ilkesi ile yarar-zarar ilişkisini değerlendirerek birincil veya ikincil koruma için uygun endikasyonu olan hastalara aspirin önermelidir. Türkiye'de birinci basamakta yapılan çalışmalarda aterosklerotik kardiyovasküler hastalıkların birincil korunmasında aspirinin akılcı olmayan ve uygunsuz kullanımı söz konusudur. Aspirinin kardiyovasküler hastalıkların primer önlenmesinde, kolorektal kanser insidansının azaltılmasında, bazı onkoloji ilaçlarının tromboz riskini artırmasına bağlı korunmada ve gebelik komplikasyonlarından korunmada rolü vardır. Güncel kılavuzlara ait öneriler, birincil korunmada aspirin kullanımı konusunda aile hekimlerine rehber olacaktır.
