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

Table 3

Risk factors for all-cause mortality in patients with ischaemic heart disease.

Factor	With event(s)	Without event(s)	Univariate analysis -value	Multivariate analysis
