Prediction of Bleeding by the PRECISE-DAPT Score in Patients with Carotid Artery Stenting.

Purpose: The predicting bleeding complications in patients undergoing stent implantation and the subsequent dual antiplatelet therapy (PRECISE-DAPT) score predicts the risk of bleeding in patients with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). Patients with carotid artery stenting (CAS) are also treated with DAPT. In this study, we aimed to investigate the performance of the PRECISE-DAPT score in predicting bleeding in patients with CAS.

Acute-Phase Stroke Outcome and Lipids.

Objectives: The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship of lipid subgroups with short-term mortality in acute stroke (AS).

Methods: This retrospective study included 698 patients with AS who presented within 24 h of symptom onset. A hemogram from peripheral venous blood samples was taken at admission.
