Clinical trials and subsequent meta-analyses showed advantages of non-vitamin K antagonists oral anticoagulants (NOACs) over vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. The impact of preadmission anticoagulation in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) has not been established.
To compare functional outcome of patients with AIS with preadmission NOACs vs. VKAs.
A retrospective analysis was conducted on consecutive AIS patients under oral anticoagulation (VKAs or NOACs) admitted in 4 Portuguese hospitals within a period of 30 months. Two primary outcomes were defined and compared between VKA and NOAC groups: symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage transformation (sICH) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3 months.
Four hundred sixty-nine patients were included, of whom 332 (70.8%) were treated with VKA and 137 (29.2%) with NOAC. Patients' median age was 78.0 and 234 (49.9%) were male. NOAC-treated patients had a higher median CHA2DS2-VASc score than those under VKA (5.0 vs. 4.0, p = 0.023). The two primary outcomes showed no statistical differences between the VKAs' group and the NOACs' group (sICH: 5.4 vs. 5.4% [p = 0.911]; mRS at 3 months: 3.0 vs. 3.0 [p = 0.646], respectively).
Preadmission anticoagulation with NOACs in AIS has a functional impact similar to that of VKAs.
临床试验及后续的荟萃分析表明,在非瓣膜性心房颤动患者中,非维生素K拮抗剂口服抗凝药(NOACs)相较于维生素K拮抗剂(VKAs)具有优势。急性缺血性卒中(AIS)入院前抗凝治疗的影响尚未明确。
比较入院前使用NOACs与VKAs的AIS患者的功能转归。
对葡萄牙4家医院在30个月内收治的连续接受口服抗凝治疗(VKAs或NOACs)的AIS患者进行回顾性分析。定义了两个主要结局,并在VKA组和NOAC组之间进行比较:症状性脑出血转化(sICH)和3个月时的改良Rankin量表(mRS)评分。
共纳入469例患者,其中332例(70.8%)接受VKA治疗,137例(29.2%)接受NOAC治疗。患者的中位年龄为78.0岁,男性有234例(49.9%)。接受NOAC治疗的患者CHA2DS2-VASc评分中位数高于接受VKA治疗的患者(5.0对4.0,p = 0.023)。两个主要结局在VKA组和NOAC组之间无统计学差异(sICH:5.4%对5.4% [p = 0.911];3个月时的mRS评分:3.0对3.0 [p = 0.646])。
AIS患者入院前使用NOACs抗凝与使用VKAs具有相似的功能影响。
