Determinants and Temporal Trends of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Mild Noncardioembolic Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Short-term dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) reduces early stroke recurrence after mild noncardioembolic ischemic stroke (NCIS). We aim to evaluate temporal trends and determinants of DAPT prescription after mild NCIS in the Florida Stroke Registry, a statewide registry across Get With The Guidelines-Stroke participating hospitals.

Methods

In this cross-sectional analysis of a cohort study, we included patients with mild NCIS (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score ≤3) who were potentially eligible for DAPT across 168 Florida Stroke Registry participating hospitals between January 2010 and September 2022. Using antiplatelet prescription as the dependent variable (DAPT versus single antiplatelet therapy), we fit logistic regression models adjusted for pati
