Many older patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke were already taking aspirin prior to admission. However, the management strategy for patients with aspirin treatment failure has not been fully established. We used data from the American Heart Association Get With The Guidelines® (GWTG) Stroke Registry to describe discharge antithrombotic treatment patterns among Medicare beneficiaries with ischemic stroke who were taking aspirin prior to their stroke and were discharged alive from 1734 hospitals in the United States between October 2012 and December 2017. Of 261,634 ischemic stroke survivors, 100,016 (38.2%) were taking aspirin monotherapy prior to stroke. Among them, 44.4% of patients remained on aspirin monotherapy at discharge (20.9% 81 mg, 18.2% 325 mg, 5.3% other or unknown dose). The next most common therapy choice was DAPT (24.6%), followed by clopidogrel monotherapy (17.8%). The remaining 13.2% of patients were discharged on either aspirin/dipyridamole, warfarin or non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants with or without antiplatelet, or no antithrombotic therapy at all. Nearly half of patients with ischemic stroke while on preventive therapy with aspirin are discharged on aspirin monotherapy without changing antithrombotic class, while the other half are discharged on clopidogrel monotherapy, DAPT, or other less common agents. These findings emphasize the need for future research to identify best management strategies for this very common and complex clinical scenario.
