The primary outcome was overall mortality, secondary outcomes were MB and recurrent VTE at 3 months (short term) and over the entire follow-up (long term). An independent committee determined the cause of death. We examined the association between anemia and clinical outcomes using multivariable regression, adjusting for confounders, periods of anticoagulation, and the competing risk of death if appropriate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Overall, 42% of patients had anemia. After a median follow-up of 30 months, 21.4% died, 13.8% experienced MB, and 12.4% had recurrent VTE. Anemia was associated with long-term overall mortality (adjusted HR 1.46, 95%CI 1.06\u20132.02) but not with short-term mortality, MB, or recurrent VTE. Per 1\u2009g\/dL increase in hemoglobin, long-term mortality risk decreased by 8%. Anemic patients were more likely to die from left ventricular failure than non-anemic patients (9.8% versus 1.3%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Anemic patients with VTE carried a higher long-term mortality risk than those without anemia, possibly due to an excess in mortality from left ventricular failure. The lack of an independent relationship between anemia and bleeding indicated that anemia might have confounding rather than causal effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2510-6301","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,27]],"date-time":"2025-01-27T18:55:01Z","timestamp":1738004101000},"page":"1150-1158","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Anemia and Prognosis in Patients with Acute Venous Thromboembolism"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"125","author":[{"given":"Elena","family":"Hofmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Internal Medicine, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Odile","family":"Stalder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Research, CTU Bern, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marie","family":"M\u00e9an","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Internal Medicine, Department of Medicine, Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicolas","family":"Rodondi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Internal Medicine, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland"},{"name":"Institute of Primary Health Care (BIHAM), University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8775-0511","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tobias","family":"Tritschler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Internal Medicine, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marc","family":"Righini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Angiology and Hemostasis, Department of Medicine, Geneva University Hospital (HUG), Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Drahomir","family":"Aujesky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Internal Medicine, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","first-page":"5","article-title":"Nutritional anaemias.
