Doctor, what is my risk of bleeding after cardiac surgery while on combined anticoagulant with antiplatelet therapy? A validated nomogram for risk assessment

BackgroundPatients with comorbid coronary artery disease and valvular heart disease usually undergo coronary artery bypass grafting alongside valve replacement or ring repair surgeries. Following these procedures, they typically receive a combination of anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy, whic...

description BackgroundPatients with comorbid coronary artery disease and valvular heart disease usually undergo coronary artery bypass grafting alongside valve replacement or ring repair surgeries. Following these procedures, they typically receive a combination of anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy, which notably heightens their bleeding risk. However, Current scoring systems provide limited predictive capability.MethodsA total of 500 adult patients treated with anticoagulation plus antiplatelet therapy after cardiac surgery were randomly divided into the training set and the validation set at a ratio of 7:3. Predictive factors were identified using univariate logistic regression, LASSO regression and multivariable analysis. Various models were developed, validated and evaluated by using methods including ROC curves, calibration curves, the Hosmer-Lemeshow test, net reclassification improvement (NRI), integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) index, decision curve analysis (DCA) and clinical impact curves (CIC).ResultsMod2 showed the best performance (AUC of validation set = 0.863) which consists of 8 independent predictive factors (gender, age > 65 years, diabetes, anemia, atrial fibrillation, cardiopulmonary bypass time, intraoperative bleeding and postoperative drainage), with a significantly higher AUC compared to Mod1 (only preoperative factors) and Mod3 (the HAS-BLED scoring model). NRI and IDI analyses further confirmed the superior predictive ability of Mod2 (NRI < 0.05, IDI < 0.05). Both DCA and CIC indicated that Mod2 exhibited good clinical applicability.ConclusionThis research established and validated a nomogram model incorporating eight predictive factors to evaluate the bleeding risk in patients who receive anticoagulation combined with antiplatelet therapy following cardiac surgery. The model holds significant potential for clinical applications in bleeding risk assessment, decision-making and personalized treatment strategies.
