Pre-treatment of Single and Double Antiplatelet and Anticoagulant With Intravenous Thrombolysis for Older Adults With Acute Ischemic Stroke: The TTT-AIS Experience.

ABSTRACT: Background: This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of single antiplatelet, anticoagulant and Dual Antiplatelet pre-treatment (DAPP) in older, moderate to high severity acute ischemic stroke patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted to monitor the development of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH) and functional outcomes at 90 days. Two different dosages of alteplase were used for IVT. Logistic regression models were used for analysis of the safety and efficacy outcomes. Results: A total of 1,156 patients were enrolled and categorized into six groups based on their pre-treatment medications: (1) aspirin (n = 213), (2) clopidogrel (n = 37), (3) DAPP of aspirin + clopidogrel (n= 27), (4) warfarin (n = 44), (5) any of the above pre-medications (n = 331), and (6) none of these medications as controls (n = 825). The DAPP group showed significantly increased SICH by the NINDS (adjusted OR: 4.90, 95% CI 1.28-18.69) and the ECASS II (adjusted OR: 5.09, 95% CI: 1.01-25.68) standards. The aspirin group was found to significantly improve the favorable functional outcome of the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 0-1 (adjusted OR: 1.91, 95% CI, 1.31.2.78), but no significance for mRS of 0-2 (adjusted OR: 1.39, 95% CI, 0.97-1.99). The DAPP group also significantly increased mortality (adjusted OR: 4.75, 95% CI: 1.77-12.72). A significant interaction between different dosages for IVT and the functional status was noted. Compared to standard dose, the DAPP group showed higher proportions of disability and mortality with low dose of IVT. Conclusion: For older adults with higher baseline severity of acute ischemic stroke, DAPP may increase the risk of SICH and mortality post IVT. However, DAPP is still not an indication to withdraw IVT and to prescribe low-dose IVT for older adults.

Project description:BackgroundIntravenous thrombolysis (IVT) is an effective stroke therapy that remains underused. Currently, the use of IVT in patients with recent direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) intake is not recommended. In this study we aim to investigate the safety and efficacy of IVT in patients with acute ischemic stroke and recent DOAC use.Methods and resultsA systematic review and meta-analysis of proportions evaluating IVT with recent DOAC use was conducted. Outcomes included symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, any intracranial hemorrhage, serious systemic bleeding, and 90-day functional independence (modified Rankin scale score 0-2). Additionally, rates were compared between patients receiving IVT using DOAC and non-DOAC by a random effect meta-analysis to calculate pooled odds ratios (OR) for each outcome. Finally, sensitivity analysis for idarucizumab, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, and timing of DOAC administration was completed. Fourteen studies with 247 079 patients were included (3610 in DOAC and 243 469 in non-DOAC). The rates of IVT complications in the DOAC group were 3% (95% CI, 3-4) symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, 12% (95% CI, 7-19) any ICH, and 0.7% (95%CI, 0-1) serious systemic bleeding, and 90-day functional independence was achieved in 57% (95% CI, 43-70). The rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (3.4 versus 3.5%; OR, 0.95 [95% CI, 0.67-1.36]), any intracranial hemorrhage (17.7 versus 17.3%; OR, 1.23 [95% CI, 0.61-2.48]), serious systemic bleeding (0.7 versus 0.6%; OR, 1.27 [95% CI, 0.79-2.02]), and 90-day modified Rankin scale score 0-2 (46.4 versus 56.8%; OR, 1.21 [95% CI, 0.400-3.67]) did not differ between DOAC and non-DOAC groups. There was no difference in symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage rate based on idarucizumab administration.ConclusionsPatients with acute ischemic stroke treated with IVT in recent DOAC versus non-DOAC use have similar rates of hemorrhagic complications and functional independence. Further prospective randomized trials are warranted.
