Abstract
Bleeding occurred commonly among patients with ACS. AT was often not used in these patients at discharge, and lack of discharge AT was associated with an increased risk of 6-month ischemic events. These data raise the possibility that lack of AT use among patients with in-hospital bleeding may contribute to their excess risk of long-term ischemic outcomes.
