摘要: Background Anemia may have adverse effects in patients with coronary artery disease. However, the benefit of blood transfusion elderly acute myocardial infarction and various degrees anemia is uncertain. Methods We conducted a retrospective study data on 78,974 Medicare beneficiaries 65 years old or older who were hospitalized infarction. Patients categorized according to hematocrit admission (5.0 24.0 percent, 24.1 27.0 27.1 30.0 30.1 33.0 33.1 36.0 36.1 39.0 39.1 48.0 percent), evaluated determine whether there was an association between use 30-day mortality. Results lower values had higher mortality rates. Blood associated reduction among whose fell into categories ranging from 5.0 percent (adjusted odds rati...
