MNCM aspirin requirements and 2018 aspirin guidelines
The aspirin guidelines released in 2018 by the American College of Cardiology relate to the use of aspirin for the primary prevention of a cardiovascular event (e.g., heart attack, stroke) if the potential benefit outweighs bleeding risk after clinician-patient risk discussion. Daily aspirin is indicated for secondary prevention when cardiovascular disease is known or an event has occurred.
The aspirin/anti-platelet component in the Optimal Diabetes Care and Optimal Vascular Care measures remains as follows:
- aspirin or anti-platelet expected for all patients with ischemic vascular disease unless a contraindication is documented.
- in the diabetes measure, those patients with the field “Patient has IVD” = 0 (No) are given a “free pass” for the component because they do not have IVD; those patients with the field “Patient has IVD” = 1 (Yes) are expected to be on daily aspirin or anti-platelets unless a contraindication is documented.
