| Popis: | The efficacy and safety of anticoagulant therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and atrial fibrillation (AF) remain uncertain. This study enrolled 431 AIS and AF patients from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between January 2019 and December 2021 and followed for 365 days to determine the associations between anticoagulants and clinical outcomes by assessing modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, recurrent ischemic stroke/systemic embolism (IS/SE), all-cause mortality, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and major bleeding. Final analysis included 400 eligible patients and divided them into antiplatelet group (n = 191) and anticoagulant group (n = 209). Anticoagulant therapy was associated with excellent (mRS 0–1; adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 2.63; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.61–4.30) and favorable functional outcomes (mRS 0–2; aOR, 2.82; 95% CI, 1.69–4.70) and lower risk of all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), 0.35; 95% CI, 0.21–0.57), ICH (aHR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.23–0.87) and major bleeding (aHR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.28–0.94), without increasing the risk of recurrent IS/SE (aHR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.45–1.24). In conclusion, anticoagulant therapy may be a more effective and safer option than antiplatelet therapy for AIS patients with AF. |
