Risk of ischemic stroke associated with non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs and paracetamol: a population‐based case‐control study

ConclusionsDiclofenac and aceclofenac increase the risk of ischemic stroke while ibuprofen and naproxen do not. Dose, duration and baseline CV risk, but not aspirin use, appear to modulate the risk. Paracetamol does not increase the risk, even in patients with a high background CV risk.
