Clinical Outcomes of Very Short Term Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients With or Without Diabetes Undergoing Second-Generation Drug-Eluting Stents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials.

ABSTRACT: Background: Patients with diabetes represent 20-30% of the population considered for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and associate with more deleterious clinical outcome, which requires the optimal strategy of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). The meta-analysis aims to compare clinical outcomes between very short (1-3 months) and standard (12 months) DAPT after implanting the second-generation drug-eluting stents in patients with or without diabetes following PCI. Methods and Analysis: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Ovid, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched for studies comparing the very short term and standard DAPT in patients with or without diabetes following PCI. Risk ratio with 95% confidence intervals was used to evaluate the pooled effect o
