Insights
The CREDO-Kyoto score moderately predicts post-discharge ischemic or bleeding events after stenting, outperforming PARIS and PRECISE-DAPT scores in this patient group. Further research is needed to enhance risk stratification robustness.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
- Clinical Risk Stratification
Background:
- Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) necessitates effective risk stratification tools.
- Existing scores like PRECISE-DAPT, PARIS, and CREDO-Kyoto aim to predict post-PCI ischemic or bleeding events.
- Independent validation of these scores is crucial for clinical utility.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate and compare the predictive performance of the PRECISE-DAPT, PARIS, and CREDO-Kyoto risk scores.
- To assess the accuracy of these scores in identifying post-discharge ischemic and bleeding events following PCI.
- To determine the most reliable risk stratification tool in a contemporary patient cohort.
Main Methods:
- A cohort of 1491 patients undergoing latest-generation drug-eluting stent implantation was analyzed.
- PRECISE-DAPT, PARIS, and CREDO-Kyoto risk scores were calculated for each patient.
- Performance was assessed using calibration, Harrell's c-statistics, net reclassification index, and decision curve analyses.
Main Results:
- Post-discharge ischemic events occurred in 3.8% and bleeding events in 2.3% of patients within one year.
- CREDO-Kyoto demonstrated moderate discrimination for ischemic events (c-statistic 0.68) and bleeding events (c-statistic 0.67).
- PARIS and PRECISE-DAPT showed marginal discrimination for bleeding events, and PARIS for ischemic events.
Conclusions:
- The PARIS and PRECISE-DAPT scores lacked resilience in predicting post-discharge bleeding events in this cohort.
- The CREDO-Kyoto score offered moderate predictive capability for both ischemic and bleeding events.
- Improved risk stratification strategies with enhanced robustness and rigorous testing are warranted.
Background:
Multiple scores have been proposed to guide risk stratification after percutaneous coronary intervention. This study assessed the performance of the PRECISE-DAPT, PARIS and CREDO-Kyoto risk scores to predict post-discharge ischaemic or bleeding events.
Methods:
A total of 1491 patients treated with latest-generation drug-eluting stent implantation were evaluated. Risk scores for post-discharge ischaemic or bleeding events were calculated and directly compared. Prognostic performance of both risk scores was assessed with calibration, Harrell's c‑statistics net reclassification index and decision curve analyses.
Results:
Post-discharge ischaemic events occurred in 56 patients (3.8%) and post-discharge bleeding events in 34 patients (2.3%) within the first year after the invasive procedure. C‑statistics for the PARIS ischaemic risk score was marginal (0.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.51-0.68), whereas the CREDO-Kyoto ischaemic risk score was moderate (0.68, 95% CI 0.60-0.75). With regard to post-discharge bleeding events, CREDO-Kyoto displayed moderate discrimination (c-statistic 0.67, 95% CI 0.56-0.77), whereas PRECISE-DAPT (0.59, 95% CI 0.48-0.69) and PARIS (0.55, 95% CI 0.44-0.65) had a marginal discriminative capacity. Net reclassification index and decision curve analysis favoured CREDO-Kyoto-derived bleeding risk assessment.
Conclusion:
In this contemporary all-comer population, PARIS and PRECISE-DAPT risk scores were not resilient to independent testing for post-discharge bleeding events. CREDO-Kyoto-derived risk stratification was associated with a moderate predictive capability for post-discharge ischaemic or bleeding events. Future studies are warranted to improve risk stratification with more focus on robustness and rigorous testing.

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
