Background: As the Food and Drug Administration in June 2023 approved low dose colchicine for primary prevention of stroke and other cardiovascular events, an updated meta-analysis of stroke outcomes in randomized trials would help inform clinical practice.**** METHODS: Systematic, study-level meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials of long-term colchicine in patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD, preponderantly primary prevention for stroke) or following non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack (secondary prevention). Heterogeneity was assessed with the I statistic and Cochrane's Q and potential bias assessed with the Risk of Bias 2.
