Stroke Rate in Patients With Blunt Cerebrovascular Injury (BCVI) Treated With Oral Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA) 81 mg Versus ASA 325 mg (BASA).

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare difference between Aspirin 81 mg and Aspirin 325 mg in preventing strokes in patients with head and neck vessels injury.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* If Aspirin 81 mg efficacy in prevention of stroke in patients with head and neck vessels injury is not lower than and Aspirin 325 mg. * If rate of hemorrhagic complications in patients with head and neck vessels injury taking Aspirin 81 mg is not higher than patients that take Aspirin 325 mg.

Treatment and study plan

Aspirin 325Mg Tab, Aspirin 81Mg Tab

Drug

Patients will be administrated daily oral Aspirin 81 mg or oral Aspirin 325 mg according to their assigned group after randomization.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of patients with new stroke event (ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke)

    Time frame: From randomization up to 3 months after discharge

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of patients that experienced any Aspirin-related adverse events

    Time frame: From randomization up to 3 months after discharge

    An allergic reaction or gastrointestinal bleeding

  2. Rate of need for bleeding control operations/interventions in patients with solid organ injury

    Time frame: From randomization up to 30 day after randomization

  3. Need for blood product transfusion

    Time frame: From randomization up to 30 day after randomization

  4. Rate of any bleeding incidence

    Time frame: From randomization up to 30 day after randomization

    major or minor bleeds define according to the International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH)

  5. Number of patients that experienced any incidence of worsening brain hemorrhage

    Time frame: From randomization up to 30 day after randomization

  6. Any change in the percentage (%) of luminal stenosis in injured vessels of the neck and head

    Time frame: From randomization up to 3 months after discharge

  7. Change in severity of the neck and head vessels injury based on Biffl grading scale

    Time frame: From randomization up to 3 months after discharge

  8. In-hospital mortality rate

    Time frame: From randomization up to 30 day after randomization

  9. Out-patient mortality rate

    Time frame: From discharge up to 3 months after discharge
