| Abstract: | Background and purpose Dual antiplatelet therapy ( DAPT) with aspirin and clopidogrel for 90 days was recommended as the secondary prevention of minor ischaemic strokes or transient ischaemic attacks ( TIAs) in 2014. However, whether the duration of 90 days is optimal for each patient remains unclear. Therefore, the efficacy and safety of short-term (≤3 months) and prolonged (≥1 year) DAPT after stroke or TIA were assessed via a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods The Cochrane Library, Clinical Trials.gov and PubMed were searched up to December 2014 and nine randomized controlled trials were included involving 21 923 patients. Results Short-term DAPT significantly reduced the risk of ischaemic stroke recurrence by 41% and major vascular events by 30%, without increasing the risk of intracranial haemorrhage. Prolonged DAPT reduced the risk of ischaemic stroke recurrence by 12% and major vascular events by 10%. However, the risk of major bleeding and intracranial haemorrhage increased. Conclusions Short-term DAPT appears to be superior to prolonged DAPT. However, the difference in efficacy outcome needs to be carefully explained and confirmed by further well-designed randomized controlled trials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
