Antiplatelet Treatment Does Not Reduce the Severity of Subsequent Stroke Neurol 53:825-829, Sivenius,J.,et al, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract There were no significant differences in these changes in Rankin scale between the treatment groups. The mean time to reach an end point of stroke was longest in patients who used ASA + DP (p = 0.057). However, there was no difference a mong the treatment groups in the time to death during follow-up. This study suggests that antiplatelet therapy does not influence the severity of recurrent stroke as evaluated with the Rankin scale. However, antiplatelet therapy seems to lengthen the ti me the patient remains free from a recurrent stroke.
