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).
