简要总结
This study is a multicenter, prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate whether early prophylactic use of aspirin improves functional outcomes in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Patients with aSAH who have undergone successful aneurysm securing will be randomly assigned to receive either aspirin plus standard care or a placebo plus standard care. The study drug will be started within 48 hours of undergone successful aneurysm securing and continued for not less than 10 days and not more than 14 consecutive days. The main goal is to compare the rate of favorable functional outcomes at 3 months between the two groups. Secondary goals include evaluating the incidence of delayed cerebral ischemia, cerebral infarction, mortality, and safety outcomes such as major bleeding events.
详细描述
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a life-threatening neurological emergency associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and subsequent cerebral infarction are major contributors to poor functional outcomes in survivors. Antiplatelet agents such as aspirin have been hypothesized to reduce the risk of microthrombosis and DCI, but evidence for their early prophylactic use in aSAH remains limited and controversial. This trial aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of early aspirin administration in improving long-term functional outcomes in aSAH patients. Eligible patients will be randomized into two groups: the intervention group will receive 100 mg of oral aspirin daily for not less than 10 days and not more than 14 consecutive days, while the control group will receive an identical placebo. All patients in both groups will receive standardized aSAH management according to current clinical guidelines, including nimodipine, blood pressure control, and supportive care. The primary endpoint is the functional outcome measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3 months. Secondary endpoints include incidence of clinical DCI at discharge, percentage of imaging DCI detected on CT/MRI at discharge, all-cause mortality at 3 months, and safety outcomes including major bleeding events.
