Hospital Variability Drives Inconsistency in Antiplatelet use following Coronary Bypass.
CONCLUSIONS: Dual antiplatelet use has increased between 2011 and 2017, driven primarily by evolving patient demographics. Significant hospital level variability drives inconsistency in DAPT utilization. Efforts to promote DAPT use for patients treated with CABG after myocardial infarction in concordance with current guidelines should be targeted at the hospital level.
