Factors associated with bleeding events from enoxaparin used for patients with acute coronary syndrome
BACKGROUND: Low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) are the mainstay of treatment for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, bleeding, the main side effect, is associated with prolonged hospitalization and mortality. Therefore, assessment of the incidence of bleeding and associated risk factors is cr...

description | BACKGROUND: Low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) are the mainstay of treatment for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, bleeding, the main side effect, is associated with prolonged hospitalization and mortality. Therefore, assessment of the incidence of bleeding and associated risk factors is crucial in developing an appropriate treatment plan to prevent bleeding. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in patients with ACS admitted to a university hospital in Bangkok, Thailand between 2011 and 2015 and received enoxaparin. To estimate the incidence of bleeding events, patients were followed up for 30 days from the first enoxaparin dose. Multiple logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with bleeding events. RESULTS: From a total of 602 patients, the incidence of bleeding was 15.8%, of which 5.7% involved major bleeding. The risk factors for any form of bleeding were aged at least 65 years (odds ratio [OR], 1.99; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.18 to 3.36), history of bleeding (OR, 3.79; 95% CI, 1.24 to 11.55), and history of oral anticoagulant exposure (OR, 4.73; 95% CI, 1.74 to 12.86). CONCLUSION: ACS patients treated with enoxaparin had an increased risk of bleeding if they were aged 65 years or older, had a history of bleeding events, and had a history of taking oral anticoagulants. |
