Effect of low-dose aspirin administration on long-term survival of cirrhotic patients after splenectomy: A retrospective single-center study

Figure 1 Effect of postoperative long-term low-dose aspirin therapy on the development of hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic patients after splenectomy. Differences in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development between cirrhotic patients who received long-term low-dose aspirin (aspirin group) and those who did not (control group) were compared. The incidence of HCC was assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma.
