Gallagher et al1 applied the same threshold of 5% to all bleeding end points (any bleeding, bleeding requiring rehospitalization, reoperation due to bleeding) to indicate noninferiority. We agree that an increase of 5% in level I bleeding (any bleeding) might not necessarily be of clinical relevance. However, an increase of 5% in level III bleeding (ie, those needing a reoperation) is quite different.
