Overview
The DAPT score is a clinical prediction score assessing ischemic and bleeding risks at 12 to 30 months following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to inform the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). The score was derived from the DAPT study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00977938) and initially validated in the PROTECT trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00476957).
DAPT Score
The DAPT score is a simplified clinical prediction score designed to assess the benefit-risk tradeoff between ischemia reduction (myocardial infarction or stent thrombosis) and bleeding increase (moderate or severe hemorrhage) associated with continued thienopyridine plus aspirin versus aspirin alone beyond one year after PCI based on 11,648 patients enrolled in the DAPT study (derivation cohort) and 8,136 patients enrolled in the PROTECT trial (validation cohort).[1]
DAPT Score Calculator
Shown below is the calculator for the DAPT score (check all the boxes that apply):
Interpretation
- Score <2: Higher risk of bleeding and a smaller reduction in ischemia, associated with an unfavorable benefit-to-risk ratio for prolonged DAPT
- Score ≥2: Smaller risk of bleeding and a greater reduction in ischemia, associated with a favorable benefit-to-risk ratio for prolonged DAPT
