Population-Attributable Risk Fractions for Antiplatelets and Anticoagulants in Spontaneous Intracranial Hemorrhages

INTRODUCTION: Concerns about spontaneous intracranial hemorrhages (sICHs) have increased over time with the increasing use of antithrombotic agents. Hence, we aimed to analyze the risk and risk fractions for antithrombotics in sICHs in South Korea.

METHODS: From the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort including 1,108,369 citizens, 4,385 cases, aged 20 years or more and newly diagnosed as sICHs between 2003 and 2015, were included in this study. A total of 65,775 sICH-free controls were randomly selected at a ratio of 1:15 from individuals with the same birth year and sex according to a nested case-control study design.

RESULTS: Although the incidence rate of sICHs started to decrease from 2007 onward, the use of antiplatelets, anticoagulants, and statins continued to increase. Antiplatelets (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 3.59, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.18-4.05), anticoagulants (adjusted OR 7.46, 95% CI 4.92-11.32), and statins (adjusted OR 1.98, 95% CI 1.79-2.18) were significant risk factors for sICHs even after adjusting for hypertension, alcohol intake, and cigarette smoking. From 2003-2008 to 2009-2015, the population-attributable fractions changed from 28.0% to 31.3% for hypertension, from 2.0% to 3.2% for antiplatelets, and from 0.5% to 0.9% for anticoagulants.

CONCLUSION: Antithrombotic agents are significant risk factors for sICHs, and their contribution is increasing over time in Korea. These findings are expected to draw the attention of clinicians to precautions to be taken when prescribing antithrombotic agents.
