To examine the effects of ketorolac, a non-aspirin non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NANSAID) with antiplatelet properties, on the risk of in-hospital myocardial infarction (MI). ⋯ These results are consistent with a protective effect of ketorolac against MI. Future research that implements uniform screening for and independent validation of MIs as well as eliminates possible confounding by indication is the next logical step in confirming these findings.
