and aim Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in the clinical practice. In AF patients, the assessment of thromboembolic risk and the initiation of anticoagulant therapy to appropriate patients play critical role in management of these patients. Current guidelines recommend to use CHA2DS2VASC score in evaluation of thromboembolic risk. However, the effectiveness of this score has been questioned recently. This situation requires new risk indicators. Although PRECISE-DAPT score was initially constituted to determine the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy in patients with PCI, current studies have reported that this score may also predict thrombotic events. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of PRECISE-DAPT score to predict thrombogenic milieu by comparing with CHA2DS2VASC score in non valvular AF patients whom referred TEE before AF ablation procedure. Method 428 patients were included in the study. The presence of grade 2–3 SEC and thrombus in left atrium and/or left atrial appendage were accepted as thrombogenic milieu. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of thrombogenic milieu. In addition, we constituted three groups as grade 0–1 SEC group, grade 2–3 SEC group and thrombus group to evaluate the parameters in detail. Results Grade 2–3 SEC was found in 36 patients and thrombus was detected in 24 patients. 60 patients was included to the thrombogenic positive (artı) group while 368 patients was included to thrombogenic milieu (−) group. PRECISE-DAPT and CHA2DS2VASC scores were higher in thrombogenic positive (artı) group In multivariate logistic regression analysis, PRECISE-DAPT score was found to be an independent predictor of thrombogenic milieu (OR: 1.145, CI:1.083–1.211, p&amp;lt;0,001). The comparison of ROC curves was shown that PRECISE DAPT score was higher area under curve than CHA2DS2VASC score, 0,753 and 0,649 respectively. Conclusion In our study, in patients performed TEE before AF ablation, PRECISE-DAPT score was found to be an independent predictor for thrombogenic milieu presented as high grade SEC and thrombus, there by thromboembolic risk. PRECISE-DAPT score seems to be more effective than CHA2DS2VASC score. In AF patients, PRECISE-DAPT score may provide additional benefit in assessment of thromboembolic risk, thus enabling a more individual and accurate anticoagulation decision in these patients.
