Pooled analysis of the effect of any aspirin versus control in secondary prevention after TIA and ischaemic stroke on the early risk of any recurrent ischaemic stroke and on disabling or fatal ischaemic stroke stratified by the nature of the presenting event (TIA and minor stroke vs major stroke) and by time from presenting event to randomisation (≤14 days vs >14 days)
