ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
Aspirin combined with edaravone is more effective than aspirin or edaravone alone in the treatment of ischaemic stroke. Aspirin is defined as a nephrotoxic drug while the renal safety of edaravone is controversial. We aimed to evaluate whether edaravone will increase the nephrotoxicity of aspirin in patients with ischaemic stroke.DESIGN:
A propensity score-matched retrospective cohort study.SETTING:
A tertiary hospital in China.PARTICIPANTS:
Patients with ischaemic stroke were treated with aspirin from February 2007 to May 2018. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOMEMEASURES:
Acute kidney injury (AKI, diagnosed by the Acute Kidney Injury Network), decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR,>10%), gastrointestinal bleeding and in-hospital adverse outcomes (defined as dying or giving up treatment in our hospital).RESULTS:
We included 3061 patients, and 986 pairs were successfully matched. Of the 986 pairs of patients included, the incidence of AKI between the aspirin group and the combination group showed no significant difference (7.71% vs 6.29%, p=0.217). While the incidence of eGFR decline (24.75% vs 16.94%, p<0.001) was significantly lower in the combination group. The protective effect was significant in patients with baseline eGFR >30 mL/min/1.73 m2, especially in eGFR 60-90 mL/min/1.73 m2. In patients with different complications, the incidence of AKI showed no significant differences in patients with chronic kidney injury, hypertension, anaemia, age above 75 years, except in patients with cardiovascular disease (OR, 2.82; 95% CI 1.50 to 5.29; p<0.001). However, the incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding (1.22% vs 2.84%, p=0.011) and in-hospital adverse outcomes (3.25% vs 7.00%, p<0.001) were significantly higher in the combination group.CONCLUSIONS:
Our study indicated that edaravone in patients with ischaemic stroke didn't increase the nephrotoxicity of aspirin, and even had a protective effect on mild renal deterioration. Nevertheless, there is a need to be cautious when patients are in bad pathophysiological conditions and at high risk of bleeding.Palavras-chave
