Description

Costa et al identified patents at risk for bleeding after a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement and dual antiplatelet therapy. The authors are from multiple institutions in Europe, South Korea, the United States and Brazil belonging to the PRECISE-DAPT Study Investigators.


Patient selection: PCI stent with dual antiplatelet therapy (usually aspirin plus a P2Y12 inhibitor)

Exclusion: long-term oral anticoagulation

 

Outcome: 1 year bleeding (excluding first 7 days after the procedure)

 

Parameters:

(1) hemoglobin in g/dL

(2) white blood cell count per µL

(3) age in years

(4) creatinine clearance in mL per minute

(5) history of previous bleed

total score =

= SUM(points for all 5 parameters)

 

Interpretation:

• minimum score: 0

• maximum score: 85

• The higher the score the greater the risk of bleeding within 1 year.

Performance:

• The area under the ROC curve is 0.73 for out-of-hospital TIMI major and minor bleeding (derivation cohort), 0.70 (PLATO trial) and 0.66 (BERNPCI registry).
