In 68 (59%), trauma occurred at the time of dissection. During the course of a 1-year follow-up, at least 17 patients (15%) had recurrent transient ischemic attacks, stroke, or death, mainly in the weeks immediately after the dissection. In 105 patients with complete follow-up, the event rate in those treated with anticoagulants was 8.3% and in those treated with aspirin was 12.4%, a nonsignificant difference of 4.1%. Using these data, we calculate that for a 2-arm trial (aspirin versus anticoagulants) with 80% power and 5% significance, 913 patients are needed in each group.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            From our data indicating an initial relatively high recurrence rate, a multicenter trial of anticoagulants versus aspirin involving a total of 2000 patients is feasible.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.str.0000098649.39767.bc","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,11,11]],"date-time":"2003-11-11T01:23:21Z","timestamp":1068513801000},"page":"2856-2860","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":204,"title":["Cervical Arterial Dissection"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Vadim","family":"Beletsky","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada (V.B.); University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Z.N., J.W.N.); National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md (J.L.); University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (A.S.); and University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada (A.W.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zurab","family":"Nadareishvili","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada (V.B.); University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Z.N., J.W.N.); National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md (J.L.); University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (A.S.); and University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada (A.W.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Lynch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada (V.B.); University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Z.N., J.W.N.); National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md (J.L.); University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (A.S.); and University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada (A.W.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashfaq","family":"Shuaib","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada (V.B.); University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Z.N., J.W.N.); National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md (J.L.); University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (A.S.); and University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada (A.W.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Woolfenden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada (V.B.); University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Z.N., J.W.N.); National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md (J.L.); University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (A.S.); and University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada (A.W.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John W.","family":"Norris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada (V.B.); University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Z.N., J.W.N.); National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md (J.L.); University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (A.S.); and University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada (A.W.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archneur.1987.00520170009012"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM200103223441206"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"120","DOI":"10.1017\/S0317167100052215","volume":"27","year":"2000","unstructured":"Chan MTY, Nadareishvili ZG, Norris JW.
