GP IIb\/IIIa inhibitor dose was defined as excessive if not reduced when creatinine clearance was &lt;50 mL\/min for eptifibatide or &lt;30 mL\/min for tirofiban. Major bleeding was defined as a hematocrit drop \u22650.12, need for transfusion, or intracranial bleeding. Major bleeding was adjusted for clinical factors and antithrombotic dose. The risk for bleeding attributable to excess GP IIb\/IIIa dose was determined by sex using prevalence and adjusted odds ratios (ORs). Women had higher rates of major bleeding than men among those treated with GP IIb\/IIIa inhibitors (15.7% versus 7.3%,\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.0001) and among those not treated (8.5% versus 5.4%,\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.0001). Despite similar serum creatinine levels, creatinine clearance averaged 20 points lower among treated women than men. Treated women were also more likely to receive excess GP IIb\/IIIa doses than men (46.4% versus 17.2%,\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.0001; adjusted OR 3.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.39 to 4.27). Excess dosing was associated with increased risk of bleeding in women (OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.30 to 2.28) and men (OR 1.27, 95% CI 0.97 to 1.66); however, bleeding risk attributable to dosing was much higher in women (25.0% versus 4.4%).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    Women experience more bleeding than men whether or not they are treated with GP IIb\/IIIa inhibitors; however, because of frequent excessive dosing in women, up to one fourth of this sex-related risk difference in bleeding is avoidable.
