Sumario:BACKGROUND: Association of baseline hemoglobin levels with long‐term adverse events after percutaneous coronary interventions has not been yet thoroughly defined. We aimed to assess the clinical impact of baseline hemoglobin on long‐term ischemic and bleeding risk after percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS AND RESULTS: Using the pooled individual patient‐level data from the 3 percutaneous coronary intervention studies, we categorized 19 288 patients into 4 groups: high‐normal hemoglobin (≥14.0 g/dL; n=7555), low‐normal hemoglobin (13.0–13.9 g/dL in men and 12.0–13.9 g/dL in women; n=5303), mild anemia (11.0–12.9 g/dL in men and 11.0–11.9 g/dL in women; n=4117), and moderate/severe anemia (<11.0 g/dL; n=2313). Median follow‐up duration was 3 years. Low‐normal hemoglobin, mild anemia, and moderate/severe anemia correlated with significant excess risk relative to high‐normal hemoglobin for GUSTO (Global Utilization of Streptokinase and Tissue Plasminogen Activator for Occluded Arteries Trial) moderate/severe bleeding, with adjusted hazard ratios of 1.22 (95% CI, 1.04–1.44), 1.73 (95% CI, 1.47–2.04), and 2.31 (95% CI, 1.92–2.78), respectively. Moderate/severe anemia also correlated with significant excess risk relative to high‐normal hemoglobin for the ischemic composite end point of myocardial infarction/ischemic stroke (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.11–1.60), whereas low‐normal hemoglobin and mild anemia did not. However, the excess risk of low‐normal hemoglobin, mild anemia, and moderate/severe anemia relative to high‐normal hemoglobin remained significant for ischemic stroke and for mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Decreasing baseline hemoglobin correlated with incrementally higher long‐term risk for major bleeding, ischemic stroke, and mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention. Even within normal range, lower baseline hemoglobin level correlated with higher ischemic and bleeding risk.
