Incidence and Risk Factors for Antiplatelet Therapy-Related Bleeding Complications Among Elderly Patients After Coronary Stenting: A Multicenter Retrospective Observation.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To determine the incidence and risk factors of bleeding events as well as assess the performance of the PRECISE-DAPT score in elderly patients (≥75 years) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and one-year dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Methods: A total of 940 patients (≥75 years) who received PCI and one-year DAPT were retrospectively enrolled into the study. The multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify risk factors of antiplatelet-related bleeding complications. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and the Delong test were performed to obtain the optimized PRECISE-DAPT score. Results: It was observed that 89 (9.47%) patients suffered bleeding complications, while 37 (3.94%) of them had the
