Impact of Coexisting Risk Factors on Outcomes in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Real-World Analysis Using the Taiwan Chang Gung Research Database

CONCLUSIONS Patients with the combination of DM, CKD, and advanced age (elderly) experienced an 11.32-fold increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, 7.29-fold increased risk of cardiovascular events, and 8.59-fold increased risk of all-cause mortality compared to those without these risk factors. Furthermore, patients with two or more of these risk factors had a 2- to 3-fold increased risk of recurrent ACS. These findings emphasize the importance of managing multiple risk factors in ACS patients to improve outcomes.PMID:37537861 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.941258
