What is U.S. trends in prescription nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drug use among patients with cardiovascular disease, 1988–2016 about?

## Background: Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (nsaids) have been associated with increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events prompting labeling revisions cautioning their use among patients with cardiovascular disease (cvd). however, little is known regarding long-term trends in real-world prescribing of nsaids within the cvd population. we aimed to characterize the use of prescription nsaids among u.s. adults with cvd from 1988 to 2016. ## Methods: We used the national health and nutrition examination survey cross-sectional data from 1988-1994 and 19992016 to identify participants aged greater than or equal to 18 years with hypertension (defined by self-report, mean blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mm hg, or antihypertensive medication use), or aged greater than or equal to 20 years with self-reported congestive heart failure (chf), coronary heart disease (chd), angina, myocardial infarction (mi), or stroke. prevalence of prescription nsaid use was analyzed in 6-year examination periods. weighted logistic regression was performed to test time trends in prescription nsaid use. ## Results: Overall, prescription nsaid use declined among all cvd populations. the highest prevalence of
