Abstract
Background
The effect of renal function on long-term dual antiplatelet therapy using cilostazol for secondary stroke prevention is unknown. We investigated the effect of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on the efficacy and safety of long-term dual antiplatelet therapy involving cilostazol.
Methods
We performed a post hoc analysis of a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial of patients with high-risk non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke who were randomly assigned to take aspirin or clopidogrel alone, or a combination of cilostazol with aspirin or clopidogrel and followed for 0.5–3.5 years. Patients were divided into three groups according to their baseline eGFR [normal or increased eGFR (≥90); mildly decreased eGFR (60–89); moderately decreased eGFR (<60 mL/min/1.73m2)].
Results
A total of 1749 patients with complete eGFR data were included. The recurrence of ischemic stroke was less common with dual therapy than with monotherapy in patients with mildly decreased eGFR (adjusted HR, 0.35; 95 % CI, 0.19–0.66), but there was no difference between dual therapy and monotherapy in patients with moderately decreased eGFR (0.78; 0.34–1.82) or in those with normal or increased eGFR (0.48; 0.14–1.64).
Conclusions
Long-term dual antiplatelet therapy with cilostazol was more efficacious in decreasing recurrent ischemic stroke than monotherapy for patients with mildly decreased eGFR, but not for those with moderately decreased eGFR or those with normal or increased eGFR.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Neurological Sciences provides a medium for the prompt publication of original articles in neurology and neuroscience from around the world. JNS places special emphasis on articles that: 1) provide guidance to clinicians around the world (Best Practices, Global Neurology); 2) report cutting-edge science related to neurology (Basic and Translational Sciences); 3) educate readers about relevant and practical clinical outcomes in neurology (Outcomes Research); and 4) summarize or editorialize the current state of the literature (Reviews, Commentaries, and Editorials).
JNS accepts most types of manuscripts for consideration including original research papers, short communications, reviews, book reviews, letters to the Editor, opinions and editorials. Topics considered will be from neurology-related fields that are of interest to practicing physicians around the world. Examples include neuromuscular diseases, demyelination, atrophies, dementia, neoplasms, infections, epilepsies, disturbances of consciousness, stroke and cerebral circulation, growth and development, plasticity and intermediary metabolism.
