Intracranial Bleeding After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Time-Dependent Incidence, Predictors, and Impact on Mortality.

ABSTRACT: Background Limited data are available on intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in patients undergoing antithrombotic therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods and Results Using the Korean National Health Insurance Service database, we identified 219 274 patients without prior ICH and who underwent a first PCI procedure between 2007 and 2016 and analyzed nontraumatic ICH and all-cause mortality. ICH after PCI occurred in 4171 patients during a median follow-up of 5.6 years (overall incidence rate: 3.32 cases per 1000 person-years). The incidence rate of ICH showed an early peak of 21.66 cases per 1000 person-years within the first 30 days, followed by a sharp decrease to 3.68 cases per 1000 person-years between 30 days and 1 year, and to <1 case per 1000 patient-years from the
