Abstract
Background and Objectives
Few population-based studies have assessed associations between the use of antithrombotic
(platelet antiaggregant or anticoagulant) drugs and location-specific risks of spontaneous in-
tracerebral hemorrhage (s-ICH). In this study, we estimated associations between antith-
rombotic drug use and the risk of lobar vs nonlobar incident s-ICH.

Methods
Using Danish nationwide registries, we identified cases in the Southern Denmark Region of first-
ever s-ICH in patients aged 50 years or older between 2009 and 2018. Each verified case was
classified as lobar or nonlobar s-ICH and matched to controls in the general population by age,
sex, and calendar year. Prior antithrombotic use was ascertained from a nationwide prescription
registry. We calculated odds ratios (aORs) for associations between the use of clopidogrel, aspirin,
direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) or vitamin K antagonists (VKA), and lobar and nonlobar
ICH in conditional logistic regression analyses that were adjusted for potential confounders.

Results
A total of 1,040 cases of lobar (47.9% men, mean age [SD] 75.2 [10.7] years) and 1,263 cases of
nonlobar s-ICH (54.2% men, mean age 73.6 [11.4] years) were matched to 41,651 and 50,574
controls, respectively. A stronger association with lobar s-ICH was found for clopidogrel (cases:
7.6%, controls: 3.5%; aOR 3.46 [95% CI 2.45–4.89]) vs aspirin (cases: 22.9%, controls: 20.4%;
aOR 2.14 [1.74–2.63; p = 0.019). Corresponding estimates for nonlobar s-ICH were not
different between clopidogrel (cases: 5.4%, controls: 3.4%; aOR 2.44 [1.71–3.49]) and aspirin
(cases: 20.7%, controls: 19.2%; aOR 1.77 [1.47–2.15]; p = 0.12). VKA use was associated with
higher odds of both lobar (cases: 14.3%, controls: 6.1%; aOR 3.66 [2.78–4.80]) and nonlobar
(cases: 15.4%, controls: 5.5%; aOR 4.62 [3.67–5.82]) s-ICH. The association of DOAC use
with lobar s-ICH (cases: 3.5%, controls: 2.7%; aOR 1.66 [1.02–2.70]) was weaker than that of
VKA use (p = 0.006). Corresponding estimates for nonlobar s-ICH were not different between
DOACs (cases: 5.1%, controls: 2.4%; aOR 3.44 [2.33–5.08]) and VKAs (p = 0.20).

Discussion
Antithrombotics were associated with higher risks of s-ICH, but the strength of the associations
varied by s-ICH location and drug, which may reflect differences in the cerebral micro-
angiopathies associated with lobar vs nonlobar hemorrhages and the mechanisms of drug action.
