Major Bleeding Events Are Stronger Predictors of Long-Term Mortality Than Coronary Events in Secondary Prevention Therapy for Ischaemic Heart Disease

Table 4

Nonparametric test of the major bleeding, coronary event, and event-free groups.

Factor	Major bleeding group (n = 32)	Coronary event group (n = 195)	Event-free group (n = 1013)	-value
Age, years	81.6 ± 10.3	77.3 ± 10.3	77.1 ± 10.5	0.026
DAPT at latest follow-up	18.8%	33.3%	13.8%	<0.001
SAPT + OAC at latest follow-up	25.0%	14.4%	7.6%	<0.001
Mortality rate	25.0%	12.4%	9.9%	0.017

Values are presented as means ± standard deviation unless otherwise indicated. DAPT: dual antiplatelet therapy; SAPT: single antiplatelet therapy; OAC, oral anticoagulation.
