Is Oral Anticoagulation an Independent Predictor of Mortality in STEMI and High-Risk NSTEMI Patients After Primary PCI? A Propensity Score-Matched Retrospective Analysis.
Background Managing STEMI and high‐risk NSTEMI‐equivalent patients on chronic oral anticoagulation (OAC) undergoing primary PCI poses competing ischaemic and bleeding risks. Methods This single‐centre retrospective study enrolled 604 consecutive STEMI/high‐risk NSTEMI patients undergoing primary PCI (2012–2023). OAC users (n = 100) were compared with propensity score–matched controls (n = 203). Primary endpoints included all‐cause mortality, bleeding, stroke, recurrent MI and rehospitalisatio...
