abstract = {Aspirin and non-aspirin non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NA-NSAID) have been associated with improved survival
in individuals with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC);
however, findings to date are inconsistent.We conducted a
registry-based cohort study evaluating survival following an
incident invasive EOC diagnosis including individuals
diagnosed between 2004-2018 (n = 4325; n = 2206 deaths; n =
1973 EOC deaths). Evaluated exposures were low-dose aspirin
and NA-NSAIDs. Two primary post-diagnosis exposure windows
were evaluated: fixed post-diagnostic baseline exposure ≤
305 days after diagnosis (use, non-use) and updated
'time-varying' exposure (never, past, current use;
cumulative defined daily dose (DDD)). Pre-diagnostic
exposure (use, non-use) was further evaluated. Multivariable
Cox-proportional hazard models were used to estimate hazard
ratios (HRs) and $95\%$ confidence intervals $[95\%$ CIs].
The primary outcome was cause-specific survival. Restricted
mean survival time (RMST) in exposure groups was estimated
at 5 years following start of follow-up.Baseline
post-diagnosis aspirin use was not associated with survival
following an EOC diagnosis (e.g., use vs. no use: aspirin,
HR = 1.02 $[95\%$ CI = 0.84-1.24]). Inverse associations
were observed between current aspirin use post-diagnosis and
survival in the time-varying exposure models (HR 0.68
[0.57-0.81]), and with higher post-diagnosis cumulative DDD
of aspirin. Findings for NA-NSAIDs were less consistent. No
associations were observed for pre-diagnostic use. Results
for overall survival were similar to those for
cause-specific survival. Compared to never use,
post-diagnosis low-dose aspirin use was associated with a
longer RMST (e.g., ever vs. never use, difference in RMST =
2.67 months).This study provides further evidence of a
potential beneficial effect of post-diagnosis low-dose
aspirin use for ovarian cancer survival.},
