1). 03) (53). Overall, treatment with aspirin in acute stroke was associated with an absolute reduction of death or nonfatal stroke of 9 per 1000 treated for 3 wk. Although a small increase was seen in extracranial bleeding, the benefits of therapy clearly outweighed the risks (54). Although the benefit seems small compared to the magnitude of benefit seen from aspirin therapy in other clinical settings, it is important to note that the duration of therapy needed to achieve this benefit was 2–4 wk compared to the years of therapy needed to obtain benefit in secondary prevention.
03). No difference was found between low-dose and high-dose aspirin (57). In high-risk patients, a meta-analysis of six trials of low-dose aspirin (Յ325 mg daily) found that aspirin therapy was associated with a 20% reduction in stroke, 18% reduction in death, 30% reduction in MI, and a 30% reduction in vascular events. However, aspirin use was associated with increased gastrointestinal bleeding (58). Overall, the efficacy of aspirin for preventing strokes seems to be relatively leveled from a dose of 50 mg/dL to 1500 mg/dL daily (59).
