Aspirin-Associated Intracerebral Hemorrhage Neurol 54:2298-2301, Wong,K.S.,et al, 2000 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The authors identified 58 aspirin users and 1193 nonusers among all patients hospitalized for ICH. From the group of nonusers, they selected 116 patients as controls. The locations of the hematoma were different (p = 0.002), with more lobar hematoma in the aspirin group (32.8%) than in the control group (10.3%). Prior cerebrovascular disease was the reason for taking aspirin in 37 (64%) patients but five patients had prior ICH. The propensity for lobar hematoma in aspirin-associated ICH suggests its pathology may be somewhat different from spontaneous ICH among nonaspirin users. Further research to examine the risks and benefits of aspirin use in certain subgroups at risk of both thrombotic and hemorrhagic events is needed.
