Abbreviated Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) Regimens Across the Entire Spectrum of Bleeding Risk According to the PRECISE-HBR Score

JACC Cardiovasc IntervPublished

  • Pooled analysis of 3 single-arm studies (XIENCE Short DAPT program)
  • international
  • propensity score stratification

Authors' conclusion

The PRECISE-HBR score identified patients at increased risk for both bleeding and ischemic events who seemed to derive greater benefit from 1-month DAPT after stent implantation.

Study context

Population
High-bleeding risk (HBR) patients treated with cobalt-chromium everolimus-eluting stents who discontinued DAPT at 1 month (XIENCE 28 USA/Global) or 3 months (XIENCE 90)
Participants
3,364 patients · 3 single-arm studies
Comparison
1-month vs 3-month DAPT across PRECISE-HBR score categories
  • Score ≤22n = 359
  • Score 23-26n = 744
  • Score ≥27n = 2,261

Pooled result

As reported in the abstract

BARC type 3-5 bleeding, 1- vs 3-month DAPT, by PRECISE-HBR score · 1 to 12 months
1-month DAPT vs 3-month DAPTHazard ratio (95% CI)
score ≥27
0.59(0.39–0.88)
score <27
2.31(0.89–5.99)
