Relevance of pre-existing anaemia for patients admitted for acute coronary syndrome to an intensive care unit: a retrospective cohort analysis of 7418 patients.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) frequently suffer from anaemia, but its role in patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) is unclear. This analysis evaluates the prognostic relevance of different degrees of anaemia and their specific impact on disease severity and the outcome in critically ill ACS patients.

Methods and results

and results The multi-centre electronic Intensive Care Unit Collaborative Research Database was used, and all patients admitted with ACS were included in a retrospective analysis. Anaemia and its degrees were defined according to the criteria by the World Health Organization. A multi-level logistic regression analysis was used to fit three sequential regression models for the binary primary outcome of hospital mortality. A tota
