Una delle casistiche più ampie, ottenuta dalla valutazione retrospettiva di 16 trial clinici randomizzati. La relazione tra livelli di emoglobina e mortalità è a J, con incremento della seconda sia per valori bassi che per valori superiori al limite di normalità.

Gli autori pongono in relazione con l'incremento di mortalità ed eventi cardiovascolari non solo i valori basali di emoglobina all'ingresso ma anche il valore minimo raggiunto durante il ricovero e quello presente alla dimissione.

Non solo esiste un'associazione tra anemia e prognosi sfavorevole ma anche tra anemia all'ingresso e un'aumentata probabilità di sanguinamenti maggiori in fase acuta, a loro volta correlati con una più elevata incidenza di morte e infarto al follow-up.
