Correlation of inhibition of platelet aggregation after clopidogrel with post discharge bleeding events: assessment by different bleeding classifications
European Heart Journal, 10/27/09

Serebruany V et al. – Chronic oral combination antiplatelet regimens are associated with a very high (56.5–60.7%) prevalence of superficial bleeding episodes, which are grossly underestimated in trials and registries. The role of such frequent mild complications for the overall benefit of antiplatelet therapy is entirely unknown, as is their effect on compliance. Although IPA is well suited for defining the risk of minor complications, prediction of more severe bleeding events may be challenging.
