Insights
The PRECISE-DAPT score effectively predicts long-term bleeding and death in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This score offers valuable prognostic insights for managing patients undergoing stent implantation and dual-antiplatelet therapy.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
- Clinical Risk Prediction
Background:
- The PRECISE-DAPT score is guideline-recommended for predicting out-of-hospital bleeding post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
- The long-term prognostic value of the PRECISE-DAPT score in patients after PCI requires further investigation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the long-term prognostic value of the PRECISE-DAPT score for bleeding and ischemic events in patients after PCI.
- To assess the predictive accuracy of the PRECISE-DAPT score over a 5-year follow-up period.
Main Methods:
- A prospective study of 10,724 patients undergoing PCI in 2013.
- 5-year follow-up analyzing bleeding (BARC 2, 3, or 5) and ischemic endpoints (all-cause death, MACCE).
- Cox regression and C-statistic analysis were used to assess the predictive value.
Main Results:
- Among 10,109 analyzed patients, 4.11% experienced bleeding, 3.60% all-cause death, and 20.27% MACCE.
- High PRECISE-DAPT score was significantly associated with increased risks of bleeding (HR: 1.721), MACCE (HR: 1.607), and all-cause death (HR: 3.902).
- The score demonstrated prognostic value for 5-year bleeding (C-statistic: 0.566), MACCE (C-statistic: 0.540), and all-cause death (C-statistic: 0.673).
Conclusions:
- The PRECISE-DAPT score has significant 5-year predictive value for long-term bleeding events in Chinese patients post-PCI.
- The score also exhibits moderate prognostic value for predicting all-cause death and MACCE in this population.
Aims:
The PRECISE-DAPT (predicting bleeding complications in patients undergoing stent implantation and subsequent dual-antiplatelet therapy) score is recommended by guidelines for predicting out-of-hospital bleeding in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the long-term prognostic value of the PRECISE-DAPT score in patients after PCI remains unclear.
Methods And Results:
We performed a prospective study of 10 724 patients who underwent PCI throughout 2013 in Fuwai Hospital. The bleeding endpoint was Bleeding Academic Research Consortium 2, 3, or 5 bleeding. The ischaemic endpoints were all-cause death and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). After a 5-year follow-up, 10 109 patients were finally analysed. A total of 415 (4.11%) patients experienced bleeding, 364 (3.60%) experienced all-cause death, and 2049 (20.27%) had MACCE. Using Cox regression, the risks of bleeding [hazard ratio (HR): 1.721, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.180-2.511, P = 0.005], MACCE (HR: 1.607, 95% CI: 1.347-1.917, P < 0.001), and all-cause-death (HR: 3.902, 95% CI: 2.916-5.221, P < 0.001) in patients with a high score were significantly higher than those in patients with a low score. The PRECISE-DAPT score showed prognostic value for 5-year events of bleeding (C-statistic: 0.566, 95% CI: 0.537-0.594), MACCE (C-statistic: 0.540, 95% CI: 0.527-0.553), and all-cause death (C-statistic: 0.673, 95% CI: 0.644-0.702).
Conclusion:
After 5 years of follow-up, the PRECISE-DAPT score has a statistically significant predictive value for long-term bleeding events in the Chinese PCI population, and also some prognostic value for death and MACCE.
One-Sentence Summary:
In this real-world, large-sample study, the PRECISE-DAPT (predicting bleeding complications in patients undergoing stent implantation and subsequent dual-antiplatelet therapy) score shows a statistically significant 5-year predictive value for bleeding in Chinese patients with percutaneous coronary intervention and dual-antiplatelet therapy. The study also shows that the PRECISE-DAPT score has moderate predictive value for all-cause death.
