Great to see an example of concrete evidence that physicians made changes when the evidence showed a change was needed.

This "evidence" is highly questionable. There's other evidence, i.e., that taking aspirin with DGL or vitamin C does not damage the stomach lining, have led to new formulations decades ago. In fact, high doses of aspirin have been sold in Europe combined with vitamin C for as long as I remember - Aspirin C by Bayer and Upsarin C by UPSA. There's other evidence, too, that aspirin protects against cancer.

My understanding is the bleeding risk associated with aspirin can be addressed by taking Vitamin K.

I haven't heard about it, but the combo would have a synergistic effect as they both address different coagulation pathways. I take them together for other reasons - I take vitamin K (K1, and K2 in MK-4 and K2 MK-7 forms) to direct calcium to the bones, not to the tissues, and, of course, anticollagulation. For the latter, I also take Nattokinase, but the main reason I take Aspirin is its protection against cancer.

Sounds like you have additional and better evidence than the USPTF that made the changes in aspirin for primary prevention. They do have a method to give feedback, and based on my experience a person will respond to you personally. I suggest you submit your information to them.
