CRD SUMMARY:

This generally well-conducted review found little evidence to suggest that any of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs investigated were safe in terms of cardiovascular risk, and that cardiovascular risk needs to be taken into consideration when prescribing. There were limitations with the included trials and limitations inherent with network analysis, but the authors’ conclusions seem appropriately cautious.
