3.4 Interventions in patients with DAT versus TAT
Of the 460 patients who were included, a total of 386 patients were treated with DAT. Of these patients, 203 (52.6%) required at least one ASP intervention and a total of 233 interventions were carried out.
A total of 74 patients had TAT. Of these patients, 48 (64.9%) needed at least one intervention and a total of 77 interventions were carried out.
In figure 1, the type of intervention per subgroup is shown.
In patients who were treated with DAT, we observed that 138 out of the total 233 ASP interventions (59.2%) were to define and document the maximum duration of therapy. However, this type of intervention was significantly more observed in the TAT group (84.4%; 65 out of the 77 ASP interventions) compared to the DAT group (p<0.001). Moreover, in the DAT group 53 interventions (22.7%) were suggested by the ASP to discontinue antithrombotic therapy, while the TAT group required this type of intervention significantly less (9.1%; p=0.009).
