It's much more likely that those taking such drunks, are at a much higher disposition of developing such complications.
I started taking such a drug again after developing stomach issues. I had a scare a couple of years ago, and it was only by chance that I changed to another GP who was much more attentive, turned out that I was only months away of having a haemorrhage that would have likely been fatal. All from a few years taking a 'safe' anti-inflammatory. Now I won't touch any NSAIDs (which is a shame as I'm in more pain), but it isn't worth the risk of further damage, which was left me as a coeliac (body went after the wrong target).
How often do you read about NSAIDs? No, it's how Fentanyl is killing so many heroin addicts, yet the patches are safely used by millions.
