What is the association of major bleeding and myocardial infarction with the incidence and timing of mortality in patients presenting with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes?
A risk model from the ACUITY trial found that major bleeding and myocardial infarction are associated with an increased incidence and earlier timing of mortality in patients presenting with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes. Furthermore, blood transfusion has been linked to an increased mortality in myocardial infarction in a meta-analysis and diversity-adjusted study sequential analysis.
