increase is probably independent of the aspirin dosage [6,7]. • Combining adjusted-dose warfarin with aspirin appears to double the ICH risk compared with similar intensities of anticoagulation without aspirin [8,9]. In terms of absolute risk, the rate of spontaneous ICH among 70-year-old subjects averages 0.15 percent/year. In those anticoagulated with warfarin to an INR of 2.0 to 3.0, the risk of ICH is increased to 0.3 to 0.8 percent/year. This small absolute increase in ICH is generally offset
