- Abstract
Background and purpose: Aspirin is the first recommended antiplatelet agent to prevention secondary stroke, but its safety and efficacy in stroke patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency remain unclear. We sought to evaluate its safety and efficacy in ischemic stroke patients with and without glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. Methods: Patients with ischemic stroke receiving aspirin (100 mg/day) for three months were recruited for a multicenter, prospective, cohort study. Blood glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was examined after stroke. Safety outcomes including acute hemolysis, moderate-to-severe bleeding, and death (vascular, all-cause), and efficacy outcome indicated as stroke recurrence were evaluated at three months. Risk factors associated with moderate-to-severe bleeding and all-cause death were determined using multivariate or Cox regression analysis. Results: Among the included 1121 patients, 81 of 130 glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient and 576 of 991 glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase normal patients received aspirin for three months. Acute hemolysis was observed in one of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient and in none of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase normal patients (p = 0.876). The rates of moderate-to-severe bleeding were 2.5% and 0.3% (p = 0.045), and the percentages of all-cause death were 6.2% and 1.4% (p = 0.008) in the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase normal patients. Stroke recurrence rate was similar in the two groups (2.5% vs. 1.7%; p = 0.608). Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency was significantly associated with increased risk of moderate-to-severe bleeding (adjust p = 0.048) and all-cause death during aspirin use (adjust p = 0.008). Conclusions: Long-term low-dose aspirin therapy might relate to worse safety outcomes in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and large clinical trials are needed to further confirm these findings.
