-Guide: Practical Algorithm for Shared Decision Making Mora et al, JAMA 2016; 316:709 Case 1: Tom 57 year old white man comes to see you in the clinic. He has no prior history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), no major contraindications to aspirin, no prior gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, no history of upper GI tract ulcer or other GI symptoms, no atrial fibrillation. He has never smoked cigarettes, but he has diet-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus. He has hypertension and takes medications for his high blood pressure, which is now finally well-controlled on medications (BP 120/75 mm Hg on medications in his last clinic visit). He also has high cholesterol (on a statin medication his total cholesterol was 155 mg/dl, HDL cholesterol 40 mg/dl, LDL cholesterol 80 mg/dl, triglycerides 175 mg/dl). He does not take any other medications other than for his high blood pressure and cholesterol. Case 1 Questions: 1. What is his calculated ASCVD risk score? 2. What is his bleeding risk score? 3. What is his Number Needed to Treat (NNT)? 4. What is his Number Needed to Harm (NNH)? 5. Would you recommend low-dose aspirin to Tom? Why or why not? Case 2: Mary 68 year old black woman who is nondiabetic and nonsmoker. She has history of hypertension and takes medications for her high blood pressure (BP 155/82 mm Hg on medications). She also has high cholesterol (on a statin medication her total cholesterol recently was 164 mg/dl, HDL cholesterol 60 mg/dl, LDL cholesterol 70 mg/dl, triglycerides 170 mg/dl). She does not take any other medications other than for her high blood pressure and cholesterol. She does not have atrial fibrillation. When you talk to her more, you find out that she has a history of peptic ulcer disease (stomach ulcer) but has not had any recent bleeding, no prior serious GI bleeding, and no prior perforation of her ulcer. She currently denies any pain. Case 2 Questions: a.what is her calculated ASCVD risk score? b. What is her bleeding risk score? c. What is her Number Needed to Treat (NNT)? d. What is her Number Needed to Harm (NNH)? Case 2 Questions: f. Would you recommend low-dose aspirin to Mary? Why or why not? g. What if Mary had NO prior history of peptic ulcer disease. What would her NNT be? What would her NNH be? Would you recommend aspirin to her? e. Does Mary have any risk factors for GI bleeding?
