TLDR
Admission anemia in patients with ACS from six Middle-Eastern countries was strongly associated with mortality at in-hospital, one-month, and at one-year, Hence, admission anemia must be considered in the initial risk assessment of ACS patients along with other risk scores.
Abstract
Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of admission anemia on in-hospital, one-month, and one-year mortality in patients from the Middle East with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Anemia and red blood cell transfusion in critically ill cardiac patients

TL;DR: The epidemiology of anemia and RBC transfusion in hospitalized adults and children with cardiac disease, and on the outcome of anemic and transfused cardiac patients is reported.

Anemia and acute coronary syndrome: current perspectives.

TL;DR: Estimated prevalence of anemia on admission in the setting of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is between 10% and 43% of the patients depending upon the specific population under investigation, and up to 57% of ACS patients may develop hospital-acquired anemia (HAA), even if different mechanisms contribute to their prognostic impact.

Prognostic impact of anaemia on patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated by primary PCI.

TL;DR: Although anaemia (based on the WHO definitions) does not appear to be an independent predictor of all-cause mortality or major adverse cardiac events after PPCI on multivariate analysis, there appears to be a threshold value of Hb among men, below which there is an associated increased risk for PPCi.

Association between admission anemia and long-term mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction: results from the MONICA/KORA myocardial infarction registry.

TL;DR: This study shows that anemia adversely affects long-term survival following AMI, however, further studies are needed to confirm that the presence of anemia can solely explain worse long- term outcomes after AMI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of anaemia on mortality and its causes in elderly patients with acute coronary syndromes.

TL;DR: 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.

Impact of anaemia, bleeding, and transfusions in acute coronary syndromes: a shift in the paradigm

TL;DR: A four- to five-fold increase in the risk of death, MI, and stroke at 30 days has been observed in patients with bleeding events, as compared to those without, both in the short- and long-term.

Premarital screening for thalassemia and sickle cell disease in Saudi Arabia.

TL;DR: The program's objective of decreasing high-risk marriages was not as successful, indicating the need for improvement of health education programs for the public, more efforts in counseling high risk couples, and changes in the strategy of timing of screening in relation to marriage.

Changes in haemoglobin levels during hospital course and long-term outcome after acute myocardial infarction

TL;DR: The development of anaemia during hospitalization for AMI is frequent and is associated with an increased long-term mortality.
