Comparison and Validation of Long-Term Bleeding Events for Academic Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) Criteria and Contemporary Risk Scores for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With a Second-Generation Drug Eluting Stent

Abstract

Patients with a higher number of risk factors in each of the four bleeding risk scores had a higher risk of long-term bleeding events. In comparison to other contemporary risk scores, the ARC-HBR criteria were more sensitive in the identification of patients with bleeding events in the long-term.
