Chronic inflammation is postulated as an important phenomenon in intracranial aneurysm (IA) wall pathophysiology. This study was conducted to determine if aspirin use impacts the occurrence of IA rupture. Subjects enrolled in the International Study of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms (ISUIA) were selected from the prospective untreated cohort (n=1691) in a nested case-control study. Cases were subjects who subsequently suffered a proven aneurysmal SAH during a 5-year follow-up period. Four controls were matched to each case by site and size of aneurysm (58 cases, 213 controls). Frequency of aspirin use was determined at baseline interview. Aspirin frequency groups were analyzed for risk of aneurysmal hemorrhage. Bivariable and multivariable analyses were performed using conditional logistic regression. A trend of a protective effect for risk of UIA rupture was observed. Patients who used aspirin 3x weekly - daily had an odds ratio (OR) for hemorrhage of 0.40 [95% CI=0.18-0.87, reference group = no use of aspirin], patients in the “< once a month” group had an OR of 0.80 (95% CI=0.31-2.05) and patients in the “> once a month – 2x/week” group had an OR of 0.87 (95% CI=0.27-2.81) (p= 0.025). In multivariable risk factor analyses, patients who used aspirin three times weekly to daily had a significantly lower odds of hemorrhage (Adjusted OR=0.27, 95% CI 0.11-0.67, p=0.03) compared to those who never take aspirin. Frequent aspirin use may confer a protective effect for risk of IA rupture. Future investigation in animal models and clinical studies is needed.
