Elderly Patients with Major Bleeding or Transfusion: Background Elderly patients have an increased risk of major bleeding and transfusion when undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Despite these risks, the effect of major bleeding and transfusion on mortality in the elderly is unknown. We evaluated outcomes in elderly patients undergoing PCI from the REPLACE-2 Trial.

Elderly Patients with Major Bleeding or Transfusion: Hypothesis Elderly patients with major bleeding or transfusion complicating PCI have an increased risk of mortality.

Elderly Patients with Major Bleeding or Transfusion: Methods We reviewed the REPLACE-2 Trial in order to evaluate the impact of major bleeding and transfusion on the risk of 30-day, 6-month and 1-year mortality in elderly patients undergoing PCI. Elderly patients were defined as > 75 years of age. Major Bleeding (30-Days) was defined as: –Intracranial, intraocular, or retroperitoneal hemorrhage –Overt blood loss with drop in Hgb >3g/dL –Any decrease in Hgb >4g/dL –Transfusion of >2 pRBC’s or whole blood Transfusion (30-Days) was defined as any transfusion of pRBC’s or whole blood.

Elderly Patients with Major Bleeding or Transfusion: Conclusions Elderly patients undergoing PCI have an increased risk of major bleeding, transfusion, and mortality, compared to younger patients. Among patients with major bleeding or transfusion, the elderly have an increased risk of mortality. Among the elderly, major bleeding or transfusion is associated with an increased risk of mortality. Knowledge of these findings is important in the care of elderly patients undergoing PCI. Nelson MA, et al. AHA 2006.
