Clinical Overview

The DAPT (Dual Antiplatelet Therapy) score assesses the ischemic versus bleeding risk in patients who have completed 12 months of DAPT without a bleeding or ischemic event following coronary stent placement. A high score (≥2) suggests that the benefit of preventing ischemic events (MI, stent thrombosis) outweighs the bleeding risk of prolonged therapy.

Clinical Pearl

Age is inversely weighted in the DAPT score. Older patients (especially ≥75 years) receive negative points because their risk of major, life-threatening bleeding with prolonged DAPT often overshadows the marginal reduction in stent thrombosis.

Pitfalls & Warnings

  • Only applicable to patients who have safely tolerated the first 12 months of DAPT without an event. If bleeding occurred within the first year, prolonged DAPT is generally contraindicated.
  • Cannot be used for patients requiring lifelong oral anticoagulation (e.g., AF patients).
