Perioperative bleeding is reported in 1 out of every 65 noncardiac surgeries, with a higher incidence in patients at elevated cardiovascular risk. Among postsurgical inpatients with perioperative bleeding, approximately 1 of every 3 patients died during hospitalization or were readmitted within 6-months. Strategies to reduce perioperative bleeding are warranted to improve outcomes following non-cardiac surgery.
