No study assessed the prediction of post-discharge bleeding in the elderly. The new BleeMACS score (Bleeding complications in a Multicenter registry of patients discharged with diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome), was designed to predict post-discharge bleeding in ACS patients. We aimed to assess the predictive ability of the BleeMACS score in elderly patients.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Methods\u2003We assessed the incidence and characteristics of severe bleeding after discharge in ACS patients aged \u2265 75 years. Bleeding was defined as any intracranial bleeding or bleeding leading to hospitalization and\/or red blood transfusion, occurring within the first year after discharge. We assessed the predictive ability of the BleeMACS score according to age by Fine\u2013Gray proportional hazards regression analysis, calculating receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the area under the ROC curves (AUC).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003The BleeMACS registry included 15,401 patients of whom 3,376\/15,401 (21.9%) were aged \u2265 75 years. Elderly patients were more commonly treated with clopidogrel and less often treated with ticagrelor or prasugrel. Of 3,376 elderly patients, 190 (5.6%) experienced post-discharge bleeding. The incidence of bleeding was moderately higher in elderly patients (hazard ratio [HR], 2.31, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.92\u20132.77). The predictive ability of the BleeMACS score was moderately lower in elderly patients (AUC, 0.652 vs. 0.691, p\u2009=\u20090.001).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003Elderly patients with ACS had a significantly higher incidence of post-discharge bleeding. Despite a lower predictive ability in older patients, the BleeMACS score exhibited an acceptable performance in these
