HEMORRHAGIC STROKE, INTRACEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE, INTRACRANIAL BLEEDING, ISCHEMIC STROKE, SECONDARY
This secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial including 19 114 older adults found a statistically significant 38% increase in intracranial bleeding resulting from a combination of hemorrhagic stroke and other causes of intracerebral hemorrhage among individuals randomized to aspirin. The difference in incidence of ischemic stroke was not statistically significant.
