Predictivity of the Multivariable Models Without and After Inclusion of Bleeding

Multivariable Model 30‐Day Mortality
P Valuea C‐Statistic [95% CI]
Baseline model without bleedingb 0.744 [0.671 to 0.818]
After inclusion of VARC‐2 LT bleeding <0.001 0.773 [0.706 to 0.839]
After inclusion of bleeding defined as BARC ≥3 0.002 0.776 [0.694 to 0.857]
After inclusion of bleeding defined as BARC ≥2 0.011 0.762 [0.682 to 0.842]
After inclusion of TIMI major 0.001 0.768 [0.692 to 0.844]
After inclusion of TIMI major+minor bleeding 0.002 0.776 [0.701 to 0.852]
After inclusion of GUSTO severe or LT bleeding <0.001 0.791 [0.714 to 0.869]
After inclusion of GUSTO severe or LT and moderate bleeding 0.002 0.771 [0.692 to 0.851]
After inclusion of modified VARC LT bleeding <0.001 0.814 [0.759 to 0.870]

BARC indicates Bleeding Academic Research Consortium; BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; GUSTO, Global Utilization of Streptokinase and Tissue Plasminogen Activator for Occluded Coronary Arteries investigators; LT, life‐threatening; TIMI, Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction investigators; VARC, Valve Academic Research Consortium.

a

The P value is obtained from a likelihood ratio test comparing the baseline model without bleeding vs multivariable model including bleeding.

b

The baseline model includes age, sex, BMI, previous stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and atrial fibrillation at baseline.
