Methods
Methods
A precise determination of the duration of exposition toclopidogrel was calculated
−−first date of prescription to end of treatment
−−first date of prescription to end of follow-up
These time delays were used as adjustment variables
All clinical events were adjudicated by two independentcardiologists blinded to the genetic analysis.
