Ischaemic stroke (IS) risk after acute coronary syndrome is increasing. The aim of our study was to evaluate the stroke rate in a multicentre study and to determine the prediction ability of the PRECISE DAPT score, added to the prediction power of the GRACE score, already demonstrated. This was a retrospective study, carried out in two centres with 5916 patients, with ACS discharged between 2011 and 2017 (median 66±13 years, 27.7% women). The primary endpoint was the occurrence of ischaemic stroke and its risk during follow up (median 5.5, IQR 2.6–7.0). A multivariable logistic regression analysis was made, where GRACE (HR 1.01, IC 95% 1.00–1.02) and PRECISE DAPT score (HR 1.03, IC 95% 1.01–1.05) were both an independent predictor of ischaemic stroke after ACS, in a model adjusted by age and AF, which was found to be the independent factor with highest risk (HR 1.67, IC 95% 1.09–2.55). GRACE and PRECISE DAPT scores are ischaemic stroke predictors used during follow-up for patients after acute coronary syndrome. We should use both of them not only trying to predict ischaemic/haemorrhagic risk respectively but also as ischaemic stroke predictors. Figure 1. AUC Curves Type of funding source: None
