The Clinical Value of the Predicting Bleeding Complications in Patients Undergoing Stent Implantation and Subsequent Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Score in Predicting Long-Term Major Adverse Cardiovascular And Cerebrovascular Events and Major Bleeding in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients Who Underwent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

The PRECISE-DAPT (predicting bleeding complications in patients undergoing stent implantation and subsequent dual antiplatelet therapy) score is recommended for predicting out-of-hospital bleeding after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, its long-term prediction remains unclear. We investigated the performance of this score in predicting long-term outcomes in patients with the acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We divided retrospectively enrolled patients (n = 1071) into two groups according to their PRECISE-DAPT scores: low < 25 and high ≥ 25. Bleeding was assessed using the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium criteria. The ischemic endpoints were all-cause death and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). During follow-up (median 7.3 years), MACCE (55 35%, P<.001) and major bleeding (9 4%, = .002) rates were greater in the high score group. The PRECISE-DAPT score was an independent predictor of MACCE in multivariate analysis (Hazard ratio [HR]: 1.028, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.016-1.039, < .001). Also, the PRECISE-DAPT score predicted all-cause mortality HR: 2.115, 95% CI: 1.508-2.965, < .001 at long-term follow-up. The PRECISE-DAPT score may be useful for predicting MACCE at long-term follow-up in addition to the risk of bleeding.
