Abstract
BACKGROUND Tacrolimus is a potent macrolide immunosuppressant frequently used to prevent graft rejection in organ transplantation. Despite the known side effect of hemorrhage, there are no extensive descriptive series of patients who experience hemorrhage events associated with tacrolimus. We sought to review and describe tacrolimus-related hemorrhage events reported by healthcare professionals to the United States Food and Drug Association Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. METHODS The FAERS database (2004q1-2022q4) was retrospectively analyzed to characterize reporting of hemorrhage adverse events (AEs) with tacrolimus. Subgroup analysis was completed on the hemorrhage. RESULTS A total of 75,310 tacrolimus-associated AEs were identified, of which 1,511 cases met specific inclusion/exclusion criteria with most occurring in the gastrointestinal tract (422 cases, 27.93% of all included cases). Death was reported in 558 patients (36.93% of hemorrhage cases), the most of which occurred in cases of brain hemorrhage (219 cases, 39.25% of death cases). Among definitive organ transplants, renal transplant was the most common indication for tacrolimus (62 cases, 4.10%) followed by bone marrow transplant (44 cases, 2.91%) and liver transplant (30 cases, 1.99%). CONCLUSIONS This study presents the largest collective description of tacrolimus-related hemorrhage events. We additionally described a number of previously unreported tacrolimus-related hemorrhage events.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) that require long-term anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy presents a problem in people with haemophilia (PWH) who receive factor replacement therapy to reduce bleeding risk. Currently, there are no Japanese guidelines for the management of PWH with CVD. AIM To develop expert guidance on managing CVD in PWH in Japan. METHODS A steering committee of four experts (two haemophilia specialists, one thrombosis specialist, one cardiologist) identified 44 statements related to five key themes. An online questionnaire was produced comprising a mix of 4-point Likert scale and multiple-choice questions that was sent to specialists in the management of PWH with CVD in Japan. Consensus was defined as high or very high if a respective ≥75% or ≥90% of respondents agreed with a statement. RESULTS Of 16 potential respondents, responses were received from 15 specialists. Of the Likert scale questions, 71% (29/41) achieved ≥90% agreement (very strong agreement), 17% (7/41) achieved 75%-89% agreement (strong agreement) and 15% (6/41) did not achieve consensus agreement. The three multiple-choice questions failed to identify a strong preference. Agreement on specific target trough clotting factor levels for managing certain clinical situations, such as when in the presence of non-valvular atrial fibrillation or myocardial infarction, was also achieved. CONCLUSION The results of this consensus study provide a framework for cardiologists and haematologists to manage PWH who are at risk of, or who have, CVD. Implementation of the recommendations provided herein may improve outcomes for PWH with CVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bleeding following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has important prognostic implications. The Academic Research Consortium (ARC) have identified a set of clinical criteria to standardize the definition of a high bleeding risk (HBR). Current study sought to externally validate the ARC definition for HBR patients in a contemporary real-world cohort. METHOD This post hoc analysis included 22,741 patients undergoing PCI between May 2018 and August 2019 enrolled in Thai PCI Registry. The primary endpoint was the incidence of major bleeding at 12 months post index PCI. RESULTS In total, 8678 (38.2%) and 14,063 (61.8%) patients were stratified to the ARC-HBR and non-ARC-HBR groups, respectively. Incidence of major bleeding was 3.3 and 1.1 per 1000 patients per month in the ARC-HBR group and the non-ARC-HBR group (HR 2.84 [95% CI: 2.39-3.38]; p < 0.001). Advanced age and heart failure met the 1-year major criteria performance goal of ≥4% major bleeding. The impact of HBR risk factors was incremental. HBR patients also experienced significantly higher rates of all-cause mortality (19.1% versus 5.2%, HR 4.00 [95% CI: 3.67-4.37]; p < 0.001) and myocardial infarction. The ARC-HBR score fairly performed in discriminating bleeding with C-statistic (95% CI) of 0.674 (0.649, 0.698). Updating the ARC-HBR by adding heart failure, prior myocardial infarction, non-radial access, female in the model significantly improved C-statistic of 0.714 (0.691, 0.737). CONCLUSIONS The ARC-HBR definition could identify patients at increased risk not only for bleeding but also for thrombotic events, including all-cause mortality. Coexistence of multiple ARC-HBR criteria unveiled additive prognostic value.

Japanese high bleeding risk criteria status predicts low thrombogenicity and bleeding events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Cardiovasc Interv Ther 2023:10.1007/s12928-023-00920-3. [PMID: 36877333 DOI: 10.1007/s12928-023-00920-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2022] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/07/2023]
Abstract
Although the Japanese high bleeding risk criteria (J-HBR) were established to predict bleeding risk in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the thrombogenicity in the J-HBR status remains unknown. Here, we examined the relationships among J-HBR status, thrombogenicity and bleeding events. This study was a retrospective analysis of 300 consecutive patients who underwent PCI. Blood samples obtained on the day of PCI were used in the total thrombus-formation analysis system (T-TAS) to investigate the thrombus-formation area under the curve (AUC; PL18-AUC10 for platelet chip; AR10-AUC30 for atheroma chip). The J-HBR score was calculated by adding 1 point for any major criterion and 0.5 point for any minor criterion. We assigned patients to three groups based on J-HBR status: a J-HBR-negative group (n = 80), a low score J-HBR-positive group (positive/low, n = 109), and a high score J-HBR-positive group (positive/high, n = 111). The primary end point was the 1-year incidence of bleeding events defined by the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium types 2, 3, or 5. Both PL18-AUC10 and AR10-AUC30 levels were lower in the J-HBR-positive/high group than the negative group. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed worse 1-year bleeding event-free survival in the J-HBR-positive/high group compared with the negative group. In addition, both T-TAS levels in J-HBR positivity were lower in those with bleeding events than in those without bleeding events. In multivariate Cox regression analyses, the J-HBR-positive/high status was significantly associated with 1-year bleeding events. In conclusion, the J-HBR-positive/high status could reflect low thrombogenicity as measured by T-TAS and high bleeding risk in patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract
Background: The utility of the Japanese version of high bleeding risk (J-HBR) criteria compared with contemporary bleeding risk criteria, including Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk criteria, has not been fully investigated. Methods and Results: This study included patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention between 2010 and 2019. The J-HBR score was calculated by assigning 1 point for each major criterion and 0.5 points for each minor criterion in the J-HBR criteria. Among 1,643 patients, 1,143 (69.6%) met the J-HBR criteria. Accumulated major bleeding event rates at 1 year were higher among those who met the J-HBR criteria (4.8% vs. 0.6%; P<0.001). J-HBR criteria had higher sensitivity (94.8%) and lower specificity (31.4%) than contemporary bleeding risk criteria in predicting major bleeding. Bleeding events increased with increasing J-HBR score. The C statistic for the J-HBR score for predicting major bleeding at 1 year was 0.75 (95% confidence interval 0.69–0.81), and is comparable to that of other risk scores. In multivariate analysis, of the factors included in J-HBR criteria, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, and active malignancy were associated with major bleeding. Conclusions: J-HBR criteria identified patients at high bleeding risk with high sensitivity and low specificity. Bleeding risk was closely related to J-HBR score and its individual components. The discriminative ability of the J-HBR score was comparable to that of contemporary bleeding risk scores.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bleeding risk in heart failure (HF) patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) has not yet been fully investigated. METHODS We analyzed the data of 677 patients with a previous history of CAD who were hospitalized for HF. The patients were divided into three groups based on the tertiles of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels: Low, Middle, and High BNP groups (n = 225, 226, and 226, respectively). The primary endpoint was post-discharge bleeding events, which was defined as hemorrhagic stroke and gastrointestinal bleeding. RESULTS The High BNP group was the oldest (Low, Middle, High, 67.0, 74.0, and 75.0 years, respectively; p < 0.001), showed the lowest left ventricular ejection fraction (56.0%, 50.7%, and 40.3%, respectively; p < 0.001), and contained more patients at high bleeding risk (HBR) defined by the simplified version of the Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) definition (65.3%, 85.4%, and 93.8%, respectively, p < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that post-discharge bleeding events occurred most frequently in the High BNP group (log-rank p = 0.008). In the Cox proportional hazard analysis, compared to the Low BNP group as a reference, the High BNP group was independently associated with bleeding events after adjustment for age, sex, simplified ARC-HBR definition, and left ventricular ejection fraction (hazard ratio 3.208, 95% confidence interval 1.078-9.544, p = 0.036). CONCLUSIONS High BNP is associated with bleeding events in HF patients with a history of CAD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Among various mechanical support devices, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) is the last resort for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients complicated with refractory cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. The purpose of this study was to investigate the V-A ECMO-related complications in AMI patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and to find the association between complications and in-hospital death in that population. METHODS We retrospectively included 101 AMI patients who received V-A ECMO and underwent PCI to the culprit lesion, and divided them into the survivor group (n=43) and the in-hospital death group (n=58). We compared the clinical characteristics and outcomes including complications between the 2 groups, and performed multivariate logistic regression analysis to find factors associated with in-hospital death and major bleeding. RESULTS The incidence of major bleeding including V-A ECMO site bleeding and intracranial hemorrhage was higher in the in-hospital death group (34.5%) than in the survivor group (7%) (p=0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that final thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade ≤2 (OR 4.453, 95% CI1.427-13.894, p=0.010) and major bleeding (OR 4.986, 95% CI1.277-19.466, p=0.021) were significantly associated with in-hospital death. Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) was significantly associated with major bleeding (OR 3.881, 95% CI 1.358-11.089, p=0.011). CONCLUSIONS In AMI patients who received V-A ECMO and underwent PCI, final TIMI flow grade ≤2 and major bleeding were associated with in-hospital death. OHCA was closely associated with major bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has recently been reported that the simplified Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) definition, which excludes 6 rare criteria, is comparable to the original ARC-HBR definition in predicting major bleeding in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention. In this study, we investigated whether the simplified ARC-HBR definition could be applied to patients with heart failure (HF) to identify those at high bleeding risk (HBR).Methods and Results:In all, 2,437 patients hospitalized for HF were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the simplified ARC-HBR definition: those at HBR (n=2,026; 83.1%) and those not (non-HBR group; n=411; 16.9%). The HBR group was older (72.0 vs. 61.0 years; P<0.001) and had a lower prevalence of CAD (31.1% vs. 36.5%; P=0.034) than the non-HBR group. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that post-discharge bleeding events defined as hemorrhagic stroke or gastrointestinal bleeding were more frequent in the HBR than non-HBR group (log-rank P<0.001). The simplified ARC-HBR definition accurately predicted bleeding events (Fine-Gray model; hazard ratio 2.777, 95% confidence interval 1.464-5.270, P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS The simplified ARC-HBR definition predicts a high risk of bleeding events in patients with HF.
