TLDR
The impact of anaemia on cause specific of mortality seem to be different according to age subgroup, and in young patients the association between anaemia and mortality was significant only for non-cardiac causes.Abstract:
Background Prognostic impact of anaemia in the elderly with acute coronary syndromes has not been specifically analysed, and little information exists about causes of mortality in this setting. Methods We prospectively included consecutive patients with acute coronary syndromes. Anaemia was defined as haemoglobin Results We included 2128 patients, of whom 394 (18.6%) were aged 75 years or older. Anaemia was more common in the elderly (40.4% vs 19.5%, p Conclusions The impact of anaemia on cause specific of mortality seem to be different according to age subgroup. The association between anaemia and mortality was not observed in elderly patients from our series.read more

Iron status in the elderly: A review of recent evidence.
TL;DR: The overall findings were that disturbed iron metabolism plays a major role in a large number of conditions associated with old age and management options should be reviewed and updated, and novel therapies, which show potential for treating anemia of inflammation or chronic disease, should be considered.

TL;DR: Anemia is a risk factor to predict ACM and CVM among the general population, which is independent of sex, age, and history of CVD.

TL;DR: A not negligible proportion of patients treated with ticagrelor or prasugrel met criteria for anemia, and despite their higher bleeding risk profile, patients with anemia had an acceptable rate of bleeding.

TL;DR: The association between anemia and mortality was especially significant in robust patients, whereas the poorer prognosis in frail patients was not modified by the presence of anemia.

The statistical analysis of failure time data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a regression model for failure time distributions in the context of counting process models and showed that the model can be used to estimate the probability of failure.

Blood Transfusion in Elderly Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction
TL;DR: Blood transfusion is associated with a lower short-term mortality rate among elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction if the hematocrit on admission is 30.0 percent or lower and may be effective in patients with a hematOCrit as high as 33.1 percent or higher on admission.
