Abstract

CRUSADE risk score stands out as a simple-to-use bleeding risk model. However, its use is still doubtful for Thai population. The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value of CRUSADE in predicting risk of major bleeding among Thai patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) receiving enoxaparin.
