Abstract
BACKGROUND:Cerebral microbleeds are associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) following acute ischemic stroke. We investigated whether the effect of dabigatran (vs. aspirin) in patients with acute minor non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) is modified by baseline microbleeds on MRI. METHODS:The Dabigatran Treatment of Acute Stroke II trial randomized 305 patients with acute minor non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke/TIA to dabigatran (150/110 mg twice daily) or aspirin (81 mg daily) for 30 days. Microbleeds were centrally adjudicated in patients with an interpretable blood-sensitive sequence on baseline MRI. In this post hoc analysis, we used multivariable regression models to determine the association between microbleeds and any incident HT on day-30 MRI and excellent functional outcome (modified Rankin scale = 0-1) at 90 days. RESULTS:A total of 251 (82.3%) participants (mean age = 66 ± 13 years, 36% women, median [IQR] onset-to-randomization time = 40[27-55] hours; median [IQR] NIHSS = 1 [0-2]) were included, of whom 82 (33%) had microbleeds. On day-30 MRI, 6% (n = 14) developed HT, and 80% (n = 191) achieved 90-day mRS of 0-1. We found no association between microbleed presence and HT (adjusted OR = 0.84; 95%CI:0.21-3.25) or excellent functional outcome (adjusted RR = 1.09; 95%CI:0.94-1.26). The rate of HT in patients with microbleeds was 3% with dabigatran and 4% with aspirin (OR = 0.85; 95%CI:0.11-6.75). Excellent functional outcome occurred in 74% and 84% of dabigatran and aspirin-treated patients, respectively (RR = 0.88; 95%CI:0.69-1.12). The presence, severity or location of microbleeds did not modify the effect of dabigatran on these outcomes (p-interaction > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Early dabigatran treatment appears safe in patients with acute minor non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke/TIA and hemorrhage-prone cerebral small vessel disease marked by microbleeds on MRI.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
