  Background: In 2011, the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) criteria were published to standardize the assessment of bleeding events following PCI. However, the status of bleeding events as assessed using the BARC criteria is not established in Japan. The aim of this post-hoc analysis of the PRASFIT-ACS and PRASFIT-Elective trials was to re-classify the bleeding events from the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) criteria into the BARC criteria. Methods: Bleeding events had previously been assessed in both trials using the TIMI criteria. In the post-hoc analysis, the BARC criteria were applied retrospectively to each category of bleeding. Results: In PRASFIT-ACS, the incidences of severe bleeds (combined type 3 or 5 bleeds according to BARC criteria) were 43/685 [6.3%] with prasugrel and 37/678 [5.5%] with clopidogrel [HR 1.071; 95% CI 0.668–1.667].
