Sepsis as an important risk factor for gastrointestinal bleeding in acute coronary syndrome patients

摘要

Rationale:Sepsis is a common stressor that may decrease microcirculation in the gastrointestinal tract in patients and increase the gastrointestinal bleeding risk of stress-related mucosal disease. However, the CRUSADE (Can Rapid Risk Stratification of Unstable Angina Patients Suppress Adverse Outcomes with Early Implementation of the ACC/AHA Guidelines) bleeding risk score, recommended by authoritative guidelines for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), does not include sepsis as a bleeding risk factor.
