PRECISE-DAPT score
Also written as: PRECISE-DAPT — Predicting Bleeding Complications in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome and Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Treated with Dual Antiplatelet Therapy
A risk calculator for predicting bleeding complications during dual antiplatelet therapy.
Full Definition
The PRECISE-DAPT (Predicting Bleeding Complications in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome and Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Treated with Dual Antiplatelet Therapy) score is a validated bleeding risk assessment tool that incorporates five clinical variables: age, creatinine clearance, hemoglobin level, white blood cell count, and prior spontaneous bleeding. Scores ≥25 indicate high bleeding risk and may warrant shortened DAPT duration, while lower scores support standard or extended therapy duration. The score helps balance ischemic and bleeding risks in post-PCI patients.
Usage
Usage note: Always include the hyphen in PRECISE-DAPT. Spell out on first use given the lengthy acronym expansion.
