Abstract

Background: 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 = 0.02). 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.
