Abstract Aims To investigate the ability of the Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) criteria and ARC-HBR score to predict 2-year bleeding and mortality in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Methods and results We enrolled 2,514 patients who underwent successful TAVR during 2013–2017. In this study, we used the ARC-HBR score for further HBR-risk stratification, and the ARC-HBR score was calculated as follows: each major criterion was 2 points and each minor criterion was 1 point. The impact of the ARC-HBR criteria and increasing ARC-HBR score on the incidence of moderate/severe bleeding events, mortality, and ischemic stroke in the first 2 years was evaluated. We used survival classification and regression tree (CART) analysis for 2-year moderate or severe bleeding events, and patients were statistically classified into HBR low- (ARC-HBR score ≤1), intermediate- (ARC-HBR score=2–4), or high-risk (ARC-HBR score ≥5) groups, and 91.4% were at HBR (ARC-HBR score ≥2). The rates of 2-year moderate/severe bleeding events and all-cause mortality were higher in the ARC-HBR group and highest in the HBR high-risk group. An increased HBR score was significantly associated with moderate/severe bleeding events [hazard ratio (HR): 1.19; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07–1.31; p = 0.001] and all-cause mortality (adjusted HR: 1.24; 95% CI: 1.17–1.32; p < 0.001). Conclusions The ARC-HBR criteria identify patients at HBR after TAVR; an increased ARC-HBR score is associated with 2-year moderate/severe bleeding events and mortality.

Abstract Background In 2019 the Academic Research Consortium of high-bleeding risk (ARC-HBR) proposed a new and binary definition of high-bleeding risk (HBR) patients based on the presence of 1 major or 2 minor criteria. Methods Prospective study of all consecutive patients admitted for ACS in two different centers. We analyzed bleeding incidence in patients with 1 major criteria (1MC) vs. 2 minor criteria (2mC) using the 2019 ARC-HBR consensus. Bleeding events were collected according those fitting definitions 3 or 5 of the BARC consortium. Results We included 8,724 patients included and 40.9% we classified as HBR; 20.9% for 1MC and 20.0% for 2mC. In-hospital mayor bleeding rate was 8.6%; no-HBR patients had 0.3%, 2mC 15.1% and 1MC 29.7% (p<0.001 for the comparison). In contrast, the statistically highest in-hospital mortality was observed in patients with 2mC (11.4%), followed by patients with 1MC (8.0%) and no-HBR patients (2.0%). During follow-up (median time 57.8 months) all-cause mortality rate was 21.0% and cardiovascular dead 14.2%. The incidence of post-discharge major bleeding was 10.5%. No-HBR patients had the lowest bleeding rate (7.4%) and no difference was observed in patients with 1MC (14.6%) or 2mC (15.8%) (figure). The multivariate analysis, adjusted by age, gender, medical treatment, atrial fibrillation and revascularization and considering all-cause mortality as competing risk, showed independent association of 1MC (sHR: 1.46, 95% 1.22–1.75) and 2mC (sHR: 1.31, 95% CI 1.05–1.63) with post-discharge major bleeding. Conclusions HBR patients according to the 2019 ARC-HBR containing 2mC or 1MC are at similar and higher risk of in-hospital or post-discharge bleeding events Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Introduction: Antithrombotic therapy is established for the treatment in various cardiovascular events, however, it has shown to increase the bleeding risk. Total Thrombus-formation Analysis System (T-TAS) is reported to be useful for evaluating thrombogenicity. Hypothesis: We examined whether T-TAS might predict 1-year bleeding risk in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study at Kumamoto University Hospital between April 2017 and March 2019. Blood samples obtained on the day of PCI were used in T-TAS to compute the thrombus formation area under the curve (AUC) (AR10-AUC30, AUC for AR chip). We divided the study population into 2 groups according to the Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) (182 patients in ARC-HBR positive, 118 in ARC-HBR negative). The primary endpoint was 1-year bleeding events that were defined by Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type2, 3, or 5. Results: The AR10-AUC30 levels were significantly lower in the ARC-HBR positive group than in the ARC-HBR negative group (median [interquartile range] 1568.1 [1258.5-1744.1] vs. 1723.1 [1567.0-1799.5], p<0.001). The combination of ARC-HBR and AR10-AUC30 could discriminate the bleeding risk, and improved predictive capacity compared with ARC-HBR by c-statistics and integrated discrimination improvement. In multivariate Cox hazards analyses, combining ARC-HBR and lower AR10-AUC30 levels were significantly associated with 1-year bleeding events. Decision curve analysis revealed that combining AR10-AUC30 with ARC-HBR ameliorated risk-prediction of bleeding events. Conclusions: The results highlighted that AR10-AUC30 could be a potentially useful marker for predicting high bleeding risk in patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract Background In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) receiving anticoagulant therapy, bleeding events are associated with reduced survival. Previous studies showed that bleeding events during anticoagulant therapy were more frequent in elderly AF patients than in younger patients. HAS-BLED score has been used to assess the risk of bleeding in AF patients. In patients at high bleeding risk (HAS-BLED score ≥3), we sought to identify other risk factors associated with major bleeding not included in HAS-BLED score in elderly non-valvular AF (NVAF) patients. Purpose The All Nippon Atrial Fibrillation In the Elderly (ANAFIE) Registry is a prospective, multicenter, observational study to collect real-world data on clinical status and prognosis in more than 30,000 Japanese patients (aged ≥75 y) with NVAF. This sub-analysis of the ANAFIE Registry assessed the 2-year outcomes and identified predictors for major bleeding in elderly NVAF patients with a high bleeding risk. Methods A total of 32,275 patients from the ANAFIE Registry were divided into 2 groups according to HAS-BLED score (≥3 [high-risk group] and ≤2 [reference group]). The annualized incidence rate, hazard ratio (HR) for clinical outcomes, and independent predictors for major bleeding were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier analysis and the Cox proportional-hazards model. Results A total of 6,826 patients constituted the high-risk group: mean age, 81.8 years old (75–80 years, 37.8%; 81–84 years, 33.9%; ≥85 years, 28.3%); male ratio, 72.2%; mean creatinine clearance (CrCL), 42.7 mL/min; history of major bleeding, 14.2%; presence of non-paroxysmal AF, 62.2%; mean total number of medicines used, 7.8. Anticoagulants were used in 91.2% (warfarin [WF], 29.9%; direct oral anticoagulants [DOACs], 61.2%). Proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) were administered in 46.5%. Compared to the reference group, the high-risk group had higher annualized incidence rates (/100 patient-year) of major bleeding (1.49 vs 0.97), intracranial hemorrhage (0.95 vs 0.70), gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding (2.63 vs 1.73), and all-cause mortality (5.50 vs 3.24). All-cause mortality more frequently occurred in patients aged ≥85 years compared to 75–79 years and those with CrCL &lt;50 mL/min compared to CrCL ≥50 mL/min. In the high-risk group, DOAC subgroup had lower incidences of the above-mentioned outcomes other than GI bleeding than WF subgroup. The following relevant factors for major bleeding not included in HAS-BLED score were identified in the high-risk group: Body mass index (BMI) ≥25.0 kg/m2 (HR, 0.40), heart failure (HF) with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (HR, 1.38), a fall within 1 year (HR, 2.29), and use of PPI (HR, 0.65). Conclusions Among elderly (≥75 years) Japanese NVAF patients in the high bleeding risk group (HAS-BLED score ≥3), HF with reduced LVEF, and a fall within 1 year were identified as independent predictors of major bleeding. BMI ≥25.0 kg/m2 and PPI use were protective for major bleeding. FUNDunding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: Private company. Main funding source(s): Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd.

Introduction: Prognosis in high-bleeding risk (HBR) patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is largely dependent on risk of ischemic/bleeding events. Inflammation is known to increase the ischemic risk following PCI in the general population, yet its impact on HBR patients remains unknown. Hypothesis: We assessed the hypothesis that inflammation, as reflected by elevated high-sensitivity C - reactive protein (hsCRP), increases the risk of ischemic and bleeding events in HBR patients undergoing PCI. Methods: We included patients who underwent PCI at a tertiary care center between 2014 and 2017. Patients were classified as HBR if they met ≥1 major or ≥2 minor criteria according to the Academic Research Consortium (ARC)-HBR consensus. Patients were then stratified into high (≥3 mg/l) and low (<3 mg/ml) baseline hsCRP level; those presenting with myocardial infarction (MI) or hsCRP >10 mg/l were excluded. The main outcomes of interest were major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (composite of all-cause death, MI, and target vessel revascularization) and bleeding events. Results: Out of 7,186 patients included, 3,403 (42.3%) fulfilled the ARC-HBR definition of whom 1,046 (34.4%) had high hsCRP. These patients were frequently female, younger, and had more cardiovascular risk factors (diabetes, kidney disease, and peripheral artery disease) yet similar angiographic features (multivessel disease, syntax score, and lesion length) than those with low hsCRP. Although risk of MACE at 1 year was similar in HBR patients with either high or low hsCRP, mortality risk was significantly higher in the former group ( Figure 1 ). In addition, HBR patients with high hsCRP were more likely to have periprocedural bleeding (OR 1.72, 95% CI [1.14-2.58], p=0.01) but similar risk of 1-year major bleeding as HBR patients with low hsCRP ( Figure 1 ). Conclusion: In conclusion, inflammation is associated with periprocedural bleeding and 1-year mortality in HBR patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract Background/Introduction CREDO-Kyoto bleeding risk score was developed to predict the post-discharge bleeding events in patients with percutaneous coronary intervention. However, there were limited reports of the effectiveness of this score to predict the in-hospital bleeding events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods We evaluated 562 consecutive ACS patients in Saga university hospital between 2014 and 2019. Primary outcome was major bleeding during hospitalization. Major bleeding was defined as the GUSTO moderate/severe bleeding. Patients were classified into three groups according to the CREDO-Kyoto bleeding risk score (low, intermediate and high). Results Major bleeding events occurred in 12.1% of all patients during hospitalization. Patients in the high risk group (n=22) had significantly higher incidence of major bleeding than those in the intermediate (n=113) and the low risk groups (n=427) (22.7%, 18.6%, versus 9.8%, respectively, p=0.018, see figure). Multivariate analysis showed that intermediate and high risk groups were independent predictors for the in-hospital major bleeding. Conclusions CREDO-Kyoto risk score successfully identified high risk ACS patients for the major bleeding during hospitalization. FUNDunding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: None. Results
