    Abstract: Background: We have evaluated whether anemia at admission is associated with ischemic stroke recurrence and composite outcome events (stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular death) according to the age, presence of cerebral artery stenosis, stroke subtype, and initial severity of stroke. Methods: All 27145 patients with transient ischemia attack or acute ischemic stroke admitted between April 2008 and November 2014 from the stroke registry of the fifth section of the Clinical Research Center for Stroke (CRCS-5) were selected. The association between anemia and 1-year stroke recurrence, composite outcome events according to age, presence of cerebral artery stenosis, stroke mechanism, and initial severity of stroke were evaluated. Results: The cumulative 1-year stroke recurrence rate, composite outcome events were significantly higher in patients with anemia than without anemia ( 7.2% vs. 4.8%, p 〈 0.01 for stroke recurrence, 11.8% vs.7.3%, p 〈 0.01 for composite event). Anemia was still an independent predictor of 1-year stroke recurrence and composite vascular event after adjustment (adjusted HR 1.35, 95% CI 1.09-1.66, p 〈 0.01 for stroke recurrence, adjusted HR 1.21, 95% CI 1.03-1.43, p=0.03 for composite outcome events). Anemia significantly increase the stroke recurrence risk in patients with mild to moderate neurological deficit (NIHSS 〈 16, p for interaction=0.04), with stroke of other determined etiology (p for interaction=0.06). Anemia substantially increase the risk of composite outcome events in patients with mild to moderate stroke severity (NIHSS 〈 16, HR 1.84, 95% CI 1.53-2.21, p for interaction 〈 0.01), without cerebral artery stenosis ≥50% (HR 2.02, 95% CI 1.57-2.59, p for interaction=0.03), with stroke of small vessel occlusion (HR 2.74, 95% CI 1.34-5.63, p for interaction=0.09), and with stroke of other determined etiology (HR 2.95, 95% CI 1.69-5.14, p for interaction=0.02). Conclusion: Anemia is an independent predictor of 1-year ischemic stroke recurrence, composite outcome events of stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular death. Our data suggests that more attention should be paid to the anemic patients with mild to moderate neurological deficit, small vessel occlusion subtype, and stroke of other determined etiology.

    Abstract: Patients with minor ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack are at high risk of recurrent stroke and vascular events, which are potentially disabling or fatal. This study aimed to evaluate contemporary subsequent vascular event risk after minor ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack in Korea. Methods— Patients with minor ischemic stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack admitted within 7 days of symptom onset were identified from a Korean multicenter stroke registry database. We estimated 3-month and 1-year event rates of the primary outcome (composite of stroke recurrence, myocardial infarction, or all-cause death), stroke recurrence, a major vascular event (composite of stroke recurrence, myocardial infarction, or vascular death), and all-cause death and explored differences in clinical characteristics and event rates according to antithrombotic strategies at discharge. Results— Of 9506 patients enrolled in this study, 93.8% underwent angiographic assessment and 72.7% underwent cardiac evaluations; 25.1% had symptomatic stenosis or occlusion of intracranial arteries. At discharge, 95.2% of patients received antithrombotics (antiplatelet polytherapy, 37.1%; anticoagulation, 15.3%) and 86.2% received statins. The 3-month cumulative event rate was 5.9% for the primary outcome, 4.3% for stroke recurrence, 4.6% for a major vascular event, and 2.0% for all-cause death. Corresponding values at 1 year were 9.3%, 6.1%, 6.7%, and 4.1%, respectively. Patients receiving nonaspirin antithrombotic strategies or no antithrombotic agent had higher baseline risk profiles and at least 1.5× higher event rates for clinical event outcomes than those with aspirin monotherapy. Conclusions— Contemporary secondary stroke prevention strategies based on thorough diagnostic evaluation may contribute to the low subsequent vascular event rates observed in real-world clinical practice in Korea.

    Abstract: Background: Combination treatment with clopidogrel and aspirin is not currently recommended for secondary prevention of stroke, but its superior effect to aspirin alone has been controversial according to stroke subtype and stage. We sought to compare the effect of aspirin and clopidogrel to aspirin alone for recurrent ischemic lesion in acute stage of atherothrombotic stroke. Methods: Combination of clopidogrel and aspirin for prevention of recurrence in acute atherothrombotic stroke study (COMPRESS) was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial. We enrolled 358 patients with acute atherothrombotic stroke within 48 hours after symptom onset, and randomly assigned them to receive clopidogrel (75 mg per day) plus aspirin (100 mg per day) or aspirin alone (100 mg per day) for 30 days. The primary endpoint was proportion of patients with a newly developed ischemic lesion within 30 days, as confirmed with brain MRI. Secondary endpoints were modified Rankin Scale scores at 30 days, occurrence of the composite endpoint of non-fatal stroke, myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death, and incidence of all types of stroke. The clinicaltrials.gov registration number for this trial was NCT00814268. Results: Among 358 patients enrolled, 349 patients who received at least one dose of study medication after randomization were included in the efficacy analysis population (clopidogrel plus aspirin, n=174; aspirin alone, n=175).Recurrent ischemic lesions were observed in 61 patients in the combination group (36.5%) and 60 patients in the aspirin alone group (35.9%; p=0.91). The significant difference was not found between the groups in the secondary endpoints. In the safety analysis, any bleeding incidence was non-significantly higher in the combination group (n=29 vs. n=19; p=0.10), and episodes of life-threatening hemorrhage and major hemorrhage were very low in both groups. Conclusion: Combination treatment of clopidogrel and aspirin is not superior to aspirin alone for prevention of recurrent ischemic lesion in acute atherothrombotic stroke patients.

    Abstract: There is much uncertainty in endovascular treatment (EVT) decisions in patients with acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) and mild neurological deficits. Methods From a prospective, nationwide stroke registry, all patients with LVO and baseline NIHSS & lt;6 presenting within 24 h from the time last known well (LKW) were included. Early neurological deterioration (END) developed before EVT was prospectively collected as an increasing total NIHSS score ≥2 or any worsening of the NIHSS consciousness or motor subscores during hospitalization not related to EVT. Significant hemorrhage was defined as PH2 hemorrhagic transformation or hemorrhage at a remote site. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was prospectively collected at 3 months. Results Among 1,083 patients, 149 (14%) patients received EVT after a median of 5.9 [3.6–12.3] h after LKW. In propensity score-matched analyses, EVT was not associated with mRS 0-1 (matched OR 0.99 [0.63–1.54] ) but increased the risk of a significant hemorrhage (matched OR, 4.51 [1.59–12.80]). Extraneous END occurred in 207 (19%) patients after a median of 24.5 h [IQR, 13.5–41.9 h] after LKW (incidence rate, 1.41 [95% CI, 1.23–1.62] per 100 person-hours). END unrelated to EVT showed a tendency to modify the effectiveness of EVT (P-for-interaction, 0.08), which decreased the odds of having mRS 0–1 in mild LVO patients without END (adjusted OR, 0.63 [0.40–0.99] ). Conclusions The use of EVT in patients with acute LVO and low NIHSS scores may require the assessment of individual risks of early deterioration, hemorrhagic complications and expected benefit.

    Abstract: International guidelines recommend avoiding intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in patients with ischemic stroke who have a recent intake of a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC). Objective To determine the risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) associated with use of IVT in patients with recent DOAC ingestion. Design, Setting, and Participants This international, multicenter, retrospective cohort study included 64 primary and comprehensive stroke centers across Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. Consecutive adult patients with ischemic stroke who received IVT (both with and without thrombectomy) were included. Patients whose last known DOAC ingestion was more than 48 hours before stroke onset were excluded. A total of 832 patients with recent DOAC use were compared with 32 375 controls without recent DOAC use. Data were collected from January 2008 to December 2021. Exposures Prior DOAC therapy (confirmed last ingestion within 48 hours prior to IVT) compared with no prior oral anticoagulation. Main Outcomes and Measures The main outcome was sICH within 36 hours after IVT, defined as worsening of at least 4 points on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and attributed to radiologically evident intracranial hemorrhage. Outcomes were compared according to different selection strategies (DOAC-level measurements, DOAC reversal treatment, IVT with neither DOAC-level measurement nor idarucizumab). The association of sICH with DOAC plasma levels and very recent ingestions was explored in sensitivity analyses. Results Of 33 207 included patients, 14 458 (43.5%) were female, and the median (IQR) age was 73 (62-80) years. The median (IQR) National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 9 (5-16). Of the 832 patients taking DOAC, 252 (30.3%) received DOAC reversal before IVT (all idarucizumab), 225 (27.0%) had DOAC-level measurements, and 355 (42.7%) received IVT without measuring DOAC plasma levels or reversal treatment. The unadjusted rate of sICH was 2.5% (95% CI, 1.6-3.8) in patients taking DOACs compared with 4.1% (95% CI, 3.9-4.4) in control patients using no anticoagulants. Recent DOAC ingestion was associated with lower odds of sICH after IVT compared with no anticoagulation (adjusted odds ratio, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.36-0.92). This finding was consistent among the different selection strategies and in sensitivity analyses of patients with detectable plasma levels or very recent ingestion. Conclusions and Relevance In this study, there was insufficient evidence of excess harm associated with off-label IVT in selected patients after ischemic stroke with recent DOAC ingestion.

    Abstract: The expected growth of stroke burden in Korea in early 2000s led to the initiation of a government-funded clinical research project with the goal of development and implementation of national stroke guidelines. The CRCS-K (Clinical Research Collaboration for Stroke in Korea) began as a part of this project. For stroke epidemiology and quality of care research, the CRCS-K developed a multicenter, prospective, stroke registry and began collection of data in 2008. Now, about 100 000 cases have been registered at 17 university hospitals or regional stroke centers and about 200 articles have been published based on the registry experience. The analysis of the 10-year secular trends showed overall improvement of stroke care and outcomes and areas for improvement. This large-scale, high-quality dataset provides opportunities to explore and compare treatment disparities using the comparative effectiveness research methods, design and conduct a registry-based randomized clinical trial, connect the registry data with other data sources including the national claims data and neuroimaging or genetic data, and collaborate with other international researchers. An international stroke registry consortium may be a viable future direction.

    Abstract: Stroke is a devastating and costly disease; however, there is a paucity of information on long-term costs and on how they differ according to 3-month modified Rankin scale (mRS) score, which is a primary outcome variable in acute stroke intervention trials. Methods We analyzed a prospective multicenter stroke registry (Clinical Research Collaboration for Stroke in Korea) database through linkage with claims data from the National Health Insurance Service with follow-up to December 2016. Healthcare expenditures were converted into daily cost individually, and annual and cumulative costs up to 5 years were estimated and compared according to the 3-month mRS score. Results Between January 2011 and November 2013, 11,136 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean age was 68 years, and 58% were men. The median follow-up period was 3.9 years (range 0–5 years). Mean cumulative cost over 5 years was $117,576 (US dollars [USD]); the cost in the first year after stroke was the highest ($38,152 USD), which increased markedly from the cost a year before stroke ($8,718 USD). The mean 5-year cumulative costs differed significantly according to the 3-month mRS score ( p 〈 0.001); the costs for a 3-month mRS score of 0 or 5 were $53,578 and $257,486 USD, respectively. Three-month mRS score was an independent determinant of long-term costs after stroke. Conclusions We show that 3-month mRS score plays an important role in the prediction of long-term costs after stroke. Such estimates relating to 3-month mRS categories may be valuable when undertaking health economic evaluations related to stroke care.

    Abstract: The optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel-aspirin for the large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke subtype has been debated. Aims: To determine whether the 1-year risk of recurrent vascular events could be reduced by a longer duration of DAPT in patients with the LAA stroke subtype. Methods and study design: A total of 4806 participants will be recruited to detect a statistically significant relative risk reduction of 22% with 80% power and a two-sided alpha error of 0.05, including a 10% loss to follow-up. This is a registry-based, multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end point study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a 12-month duration of DAPT compared with a 3-month duration of DAPT in the LAA stroke subtype. Patients will be randomized (1:1) to either DAPT for 12 months or DAPT for 3 months, followed by monotherapy (either aspirin or clopidogrel) for the remaining 9 months. Study outcomes: The primary efficacy outcome of the study is a composite of stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic), myocardial infarction, and all-cause mortality for 1 year after the index stroke. The secondary efficacy outcomes are (1) stroke, (2) ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, (3) hemorrhagic stroke, and (4) all-cause mortality. The primary safety outcome is major bleeding. Discussion: This study will help stroke physicians determine the appropriate duration of dual therapy with clopidogrel-aspirin for patients with the LAA stroke subtype.

    Abstract: We evaluated whether hemoglobin concentration at admission was associated with stroke recurrence and composite vascular events (stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular death) in acute ischemic stroke. Methods— We collected data from patients with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack from a multicenter stroke registry database in Korea. The association of hemoglobin concentration with 1-year stroke recurrence and composite vascular events was evaluated with respect to age, presence of cerebral artery stenosis, stroke severity, and stroke subtype. Results— Hemoglobin levels were inversely associated with stroke recurrence and composite vascular events. One-year rates of stroke recurrence and composite vascular events were significantly higher in patients with anemia or moderate anemia. In multivariable analyses, moderate anemia remained an independent predictor of stroke recurrence (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.43 [95% CI, 1.16–1.75]) and composite vascular events (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.26 [95% CI, 1.07–1.48] ). Moderate anemia increased the risk of composite vascular events in patients with mild-to-moderate stroke severity (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score 〈 16, P =0.01 for interaction). Conclusions— Hemoglobin concentration could be an independent predictor of stroke recurrence and composite vascular events.
