Abstract

Background— In the setting of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), anemia has the potential to worsen myocardial ischemia; however, data relating anemia to clinical outcomes in ACS remain limited. Methods and Results— We examined the association between baseline hemoglobin values and major adverse cardiovascular events through 30 days in 39 922 patients enrolled in clinical trials of ACS. After adjustment for differences in baseline characteristics and index hospitalization treatments, a reverse J-shaped relationship between baseline hemoglobin values and major adverse cardiovascular events was observed. In patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction, when those with hemoglobin values between 14 and 15 g/dL were used as the reference, cardiovascular mortality increased as hemoglobin levels fell below 14 g/dL, with an adjusted OR of 1.21 (95% CI 1.12 to 1.30, P <0.001) for each 1-g/dL decrement in hemoglobin. At the other end of the range of hemoglobin, patients with hemoglobin values >17 g/dL also had excess mortality (OR 1.79, 95% CI 1.18 to 2.71, P =0.007). In patients with non–ST-elevation ACS, with those with hemoglobin 15 to 16 g/dL used as the reference, the likelihood of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or recurrent ischemia increased as the hemoglobin fell below 11 g/dL, with an adjusted OR of 1.45 (95% CI 1.33 to 1.58, P <0.001) for each 1 g/dL decrement in hemoglobin. Patients with hemoglobin values >16 g/dL also had an increased rate of death or ischemic events (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.66, P =0.027). Conclusions— Anemia is a powerful and independent predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients across the spectrum of ACS.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
