Anemia and mortality in acute coronary syndromes: A systematic review and meta-analysis

TLDR
Clinically and statistically significant increases in mortality were observed as early as at 30 days post-ACS and persisted at 1 year and anemia in patients with ACS is independently associated with a significantly increased risk of early and late mortality.

Baseline indicators of coronary artery disease burden in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome.

TL;DR: In patients with NSTEACS, baseline characteristics are useful in predicting a lack of significant CAD, whereas their correlations with multivessel CAD remain moderate.

Predictors of Long-Term Mortality in Patients Hospitalized in an Intensive Cardiac Care Unit.

TL;DR: In ICCU patients, age, Hb, parameters of iron status, and LVEF are strong predictors of long-term mortality, and among the ICCU population, patients with ACS diagnosis have better survival.

Anemia in Intensive Cardiac Care Unit patients – An underestimated problem

TL;DR: Clinical aspects of anemia treatment in particular groups of critically ill cardiac patients are discussed because proper treatment increases chances for recovery and improves the outcome in this severe group of patients.

The predictive value of low admission hemoglobin over the GRACE score in patients with acute coronary syndrome

TL;DR: In patients a with low GRACE score (<140), anemia on admission has additional predictive value for one-year mortality, in contrast, in patients with a high GRACE risk score, hemoglobin level on admission did not improve prediction accuracy.

Anemia in octogenarians with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome: Aging or disease?

TL;DR: The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between anemia and age, renal function and BMI, taken as a surrogate marker forsarcopenia, in an elderly population admitted for a non-ST elevationacute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS), and to describe its impact onmortality.

Meta-analysis of observational studies in epidemiology - A proposal for reporting

TL;DR: A checklist contains specifications for reporting of meta-analyses of observational studies in epidemiology, including background, search strategy, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion should improve the usefulness ofMeta-an analyses for authors, reviewers, editors, readers, and decision makers.

The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) for Assessing the Quality of Nonrandomised Studies in Meta-Analyses

TL;DR: The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) as discussed by the authors was developed to assess the quality of nonrandomised studies with its design, content and ease of use directed to the task of incorporating the quality assessments in the interpretation of meta-analytic results.

Trim and fill: A simple funnel-plot-based method of testing and adjusting for publication bias in meta-analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rank-based data augmentation technique is proposed for estimating the number of missing studies that might exist in a meta-analysis and the effect that these studies might have had on its outcome.
