<unk> s, as defined by overt bleeding and hemodynamic instability, decreased hemoglobin, and/or need for transfusion, were seen in 1.5% of patients in the 2252 patients in the Canadian Critical Care Trials group study. People with<unk> s have a longer ICU length of stay (up to 8 days) and a higher mortality (up to 4 fold) than patients who do not have<unk> ation and bleeding. While the bleeding and transfusions associated with the<unk> ations contribute to the increased mortality, the contribution of factors like low blood pressure, sepsis, and respiratory failure to the mortality independently of the<unk> ation cannot be ignored.
