Global Geriatric Assessment and In-Hospital Bleeding Risk in Elderly Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes: Insights from the LONGEVO-SCA Registry

Abstract: Background Bleeding risk scores have shown a limited predictive ability in elderly patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). No study explored the role of a comprehensive geriatric assessment to predict in-hospital bleeding in this clinical setting. Methods The prospective multicentre LONGEVO-SCA registry included 532 unselected patients with non-ST segment elevation ACS (NSTEACS) aged 80 years or older. Comorbidity (Charlson index), frailty (FRAIL scale), disability (Barthel index and Lawton–B… Show more

“…In view of increasing risk scores usability, the LONGEVO-SCA and BleeMACS Registry Investigators conducted very appreciable analyses 12,13 for acute coronary syndrome in the elderly. Determining bleeding risk in the elderly patient population with acute coronary syndrome indeed remains a primary clinical challenge which will greatly benefit from tailoring guideline-directed anti-thrombotic strategies.…”
