CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding
Main objective
Scope: Therapy
To investigate whether discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy is non-inferior to continuation of antiplatelet therapy, to prevent major cardiovascular events three to ten years after cryptogenic TIA or ischaemic stroke at young age.
Secondary objectives 4
- To investigate whether discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy after cryptogenic stroke or TIA at young age reduces risk of major bleeding.
- To investigate whether discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy after cryptogenic stroke or TIA at young age reduces all-cause mortality.
- To investigate whether discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy after cryptogenic stroke or TIA at young age improves quality of life
- To investigate whether discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy after cryptogenic stroke or TIA at young age is cost-effective

- Any condition that prevents long-term follow-up
