Stroke Oct 17, 2019
Kim JT, Park MS, Choi KH, et al. - Among 4,461 patients (aged 69 ± 13 years) with acute, nonminor, and noncardioembolic stroke, researchers compared the efficacy of dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel plus aspirin with that of aspirin monotherapy (AM). Acute (within 24 hours of onset), nonminor (baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, 4–15), and noncardioembolic stroke patients were identified using a prospective, nationwide, multicenter stroke registry database. Compared with AM, clopidogrel plus aspirin during the first 3 months after a nonminor, noncardioembolic, ischemic stroke did not decrease the risk of the primary outcome event.
