Association of Proton Pump Inhibitor Prophylaxis on Clinical Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke in China: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

Background: Overtreatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients continues to grow. We aimed to investigate the frequency of PPI prophylaxis without an appropriate indication in AIS patients in China and clarify the association between PPI prophylaxis and long-ter...

description Background: Overtreatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients continues to grow. We aimed to investigate the frequency of PPI prophylaxis without an appropriate indication in AIS patients in China and clarify the association between PPI prophylaxis and long-term prognosis. Methods: Based on a multicenter stroke registry database, neurological outcomes, stroke events, recurrent ischemic strokes, and all-cause death were compared between patients with and without PPI prophylaxis. Results: A total of 4542 AIS were included, and 3335 (73.4%) received PPI prophylaxis. Patients with PPI prophylaxis were more likely to have a poor outcome at 1 year than those without PPI prophylaxis (33.3% vs. 25.8%, OR 1.321; 95% CI 1.102–1.584; <i>p</i> = 0.003). No significant differences were found in all-cause death, stroke event, or recurrent ischemic stroke at 1 year between the two groups. After propensity score matching, PPI prophylaxis was still independently associated with a higher rate of poor outcome (30.9% vs. 25.8%, OR 1.432; 95% CI 1.151–1.780; <i>p</i> = 0.001). Sensitivity analysis also showed that PPI prophylaxis increased the rate of a poor outcome in minor strokes or at different durations of PPI prophylaxis. Conclusions: Approximately 3/4 of AIS patients were given PPI prophylaxis during hospitalization, which was associated with a poor long-term outcome.
