Prediction of risk for bleeding, myocardial infarction and mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute coronary syndromes

This study included 3377 patients with ACS who underwent PCI in the setting of the ISAR-REACT 5 trial. Patients with bleeding, MI or those dying at 1 year after PCI were characterized in terms of baseline characteristics, risk estimates and C-statistic of the risk prediction models for these outcomes. Results Major bleeding (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium types 3–5), MI and mortality occurred in 195 patients (5.8%), 143 patients (4.3%) and 143 patients (4.3%), respectively. After adjustment, bleeding [hazard ratio = 5.08; 95% confidence interval (CI), 3.03–8.53; P
