Antiplatelet vs. Anticoagulation in Cervical Artery Dissection: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Objective: The optimal management for cervical artery dissection (CAD) is uncertain. This study aimed to summarize the current randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to compare the efficacy and safety of antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapies for CAD.Methods: A literature search was conducted in th...

This study aimed to summarize the current randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to compare the efficacy and safety of antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapies for CAD.Methods: A literature search was conducted in the major databases, such as MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Only the RCTs comparing the antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapies for the patients with CAD were included. Combined estimates of the relative risk (RR) of antiplatelet vs. anticoagulation were analyzed. Heterogeneity was measured using the I2 statistical analysis. The analyses were performed in the intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) population, respectively.Results: Two RCTs involving 444 patients in the ITT population and 370 patients in the PP population were included. The quality of studies was high overall. In the ITT population, compared with the patients in the anticoagulation group, the patients in the antiplatelet group showed a higher rate of ischemic stroke within 3 months (RR = 6.73 [95% CI, 1.22–37.15], I2 = 0%, P = 0.029). No difference between these two treatment groups was found for the outcomes of transient ischemic attack (RR = 0.37 [95% CI, 0.09–1.58], I2 = 0%, P = 0.181), intracranial hemorrhage (RR = 0.33 [95% CI, 0.01–7.98], I2 = 0%, P = 0.494), major extracranial bleeding (RR = 0.31 [95% CI, 0.01–7.60], I2 = 0%, P = 0.476), or the composite of these outcomes within 3 months. For the PP population, the results of the meta-analysis of outcomes between the antiplatelet and anticoagulation groups were consistent with the ITT population.Conclusions: Compared with the antiplatelet group, the anticoagulation group has a lower risk of ischemic stroke without increasing bleeding risk when treating CAD. Anticoagulation seems to be superior over the antiplatelet in treating CAD but needs to be further tested by specifying several issues, such as location, initial symptom types, and treatment protocols.Sihua LiuSihua LiuSihua LiuXiao ZhangXiao ZhangXuesong BaiXuesong BaiYutong YangTao WangTao WangXin XuXin XuRan XuRan XuLong LiLong LiYao FengYao FengKun YangXue WangXiaofan GuoJing ChenYan MaYan MaLiqun JiaoLiqun JiaoLiqun JiaoFrontiers Media S.A.articlecervical artery dissectionantiplateletanticoagulationischemic strokemeta-analysisNeurology.
