When to start anticoagulation after an ischaemic stroke in people with atrial fibrillation? Attached please find a comment in the NEJM Journal Watch on our CATALYST meta-analysis, published in The LANCET. @BoNorrving @SignildAsberg

In patients with atrial fibrillation, starting anticoagulation within 4 days after acute ischemic #stroke rather than later leads to fewer early recurrent strokes with no significant intracranial hemorrhage signal, a meta-analysis suggests. jwat.ch/4l6sdS8

Very happy to see this in print, the result of 8 years of collaboration between the RCT:s on this topic. The final result of the individual patient data systematic analysis showed that the total was larger than the parts; a demonstration of the power of evidence based principles

Many thanks to all the CATALYST collaborators, who helped us to solve this old dilemma in acute stroke management: there is no reason to delay anticoagulants in ischemic stoke patients with atrial fibrillation!

Internationale Studie zeigt: Frühzeitige Blutverdünnung nach Schlaganfall ist sicher & wirksam. Patient:innen mit Vorhofflimmern profitieren deutlich – 30 % weniger Folge-Schlaganfälle. Mehr: neurologie.insel.ch/de/aktue…

The new 2023 National Clinical Guideline (strokeguideline.org) has a recommendation for patients with moderate/severe ischaemic stroke: "wherever possible these patients should be offered participation in a trial of the timing of initiation of anticoagulation after stroke"

Very important trial on timing of DOAC therapy in patients with stroke and AF. Intriguing to see ischemic event rates in the first days after index stroke in early vs. Late group. Waiting for @ELAN_Trial and @OPTIMAS_UCL
