Age-specific risks, severity, time course, and outcome of bleeding on long-term antiplatelet treatment after vascular events: a population-based cohort study  Linxin Li, DPhil, Olivia C Geraghty, DPhil, Ziyah Mehta, DPhil, Prof Peter M Rothwell, FMedSci  The Lancet  Volume 390, Issue 10093, Pages (July 2017) DOI: /S (17) Copyright © 2017 The Author(s).

2 Figure 1 Annual rates of bleeding events requiring medical attention according to source of data Ascertainment in the Oxford Vascular Study, with multiple sources versus bleeding events identified by use of administrative hospital coding alone. Age-specific reasons for major bleeds that were not identified by administrative coding alone are reported in table 2. The Lancet  , DOI: ( /S (17) ) Copyright © 2017 The Author(s).

3 Figure 2 Age-specific annual rate of bleeding events requiring medical attention Stratified by severity and by antiplatelet treatment immediately before the event. Annual rate derived as number per 100 patient-years. We used Clopidogrel in Unstable angina to prevent Recurrent Events (CURE) criteria to define bleeding events as major (substantially disabling with persistent sequelae, intraocular bleeding leading to significant loss of vision, or bleeding requiring transfusion of ≥2 units of blood) and life-threatening or fatal (symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage, fall in haemoglobin of ≥5 g/dL, hypotension requiring intravenous inotropes, or required surgical intervention or transfusion of ≥4 units of blood).
