Net clinical benefit of extended dual pathway inhibition according to baseline risk in patients with chronic coronary syndrome: a COMPASS substudy

Eur Heart J Cardiovasc PharmacotherPublished Secondary analysis of the COMPASS randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

As classified by the CHADS-P2A2RC score, low/moderate- and high-risk patients with CCS derived similar net clinical benefit and reduction in all-cause death from DPI treatment.

Study context

Population
COMPASS patients with chronic coronary syndrome, stratified by CHADS-P2A2RC score (high risk ≥4 vs low/moderate risk <4)
Participants
14,670 patients
Comparison
Dual pathway inhibition (DPI) vs aspirin alone, by CHADS-P2A2RC risk
Primary endpoint
Net clinical benefit (risk difference of MACE and bleeding)
Follow-up
30 months
Methodological detailssubgroup analysis by baseline risk (CHADS-P2A2RC score)
  • Subgroup analysis by baseline risk (CHADS-P2A2RC score)
