Methods and results Incidences of death, re-acute myocardial infarction (re-AMI), and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium 3-5 bleeding with aspirin plus different P2Y12 inhibitors (clopidogrel or potent P2Y12 inhibitors: ticagrelor or prasugrel) were appraised among patients of the PRAISE data set grouped in four subcohorts: low-to-moderate ischaemic and bleeding risk; low-to-moderate ischaemic risk and high bleeding risk; high ischaemic risk and low-to-moderate bleeding risk; and high ischaemic and bleeding risk.

Among patients with high bleeding risk, clopidogrel showed comparable risk of death, re-AMI, and major bleeding vs. potent P2Y12 inhibitors, regardless of the baseline ischaemic risk.

Abstract
Aims To establish the safety and efficacy of different dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) combinations in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) according to their baseline ischaemic and bleeding risk estimated with a machine learning derived model [machine learning-based prediction of adverse events following an acute coronary syndrome (PRAISE) score]. Methods and results Incidences of death, re-acute myocardial infarction (re-AMI), and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium 3-5 bleeding with aspirin plus different P2Y12 inhibitors (clopidogrel or potent P2Y12 inhibitors: ticagrelor or prasugrel) were appraised among patients of the PRAISE data set grouped in four subcohorts: low-to-moderate ischaemic and bleeding risk; low-to-moderate ischaemic risk and high bleeding risk; high ischaemic risk and low-to-moderate bleeding risk; and high ischaemic and bleeding risk. Hazard ratios (HRs) for the outcome measures were derived with inverse probability of treatment weighting adjustment. Among patients with low-to-moderate bleeding risk, clopidogrel was associated with higher rates of re-AMI in those at low-to-moderate ischaemic risk [HR 1.69, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.16-2.51; P = 0.006] and increased risk of death (HR 3.2, 1.45-4.21; P = 0.003) and re-AMI (HR 2.23, 1.45-3.41; P < 0.001) in those at high ischaemic risk compared with prasugrel or ticagrelor, without a difference in the risk of major bleeding. Among patients with high bleeding risk, clopidogrel showed comparable risk of death, re-AMI, and major bleeding vs. potent P2Y12 inhibitors, regardless of the baseline ischaemic risk. Conclusion Among ACS patients with non-high risk of bleeding, the use of potent P2Y12 inhibitors is associated with a lower risk of death and recurrent ischaemic events, without bleeding excess. Patients deemed at high bleeding risk may instead be safely addressed to a less intensive DAPT strategy with clopidogrel.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
