Heart failure (HF) complicating ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is recognized as an ominous complication. The HAS-BLED and Outcomes Registry for Better Informed Treatment (ORBIT) scores are used to assess the bleeding risk in patients with anticoagulated atrial fibrillation. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of the ORBIT and HAS-BLED scores with Killip class 3-4 in patients with STEMI.639 patients with STEMI were enrolled in this study. The ORBIT and HAS-BLED scores were recorded after admission, and all patients were divided into 2 groups: the Killip class 1-2 and Killip class 3-4 groups. Different clinical parameters were compared. The predictive values of the ORBIT and HAS-BLED scores for Killip classes 3 to 4 were assessed using receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analyses. Univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were used to evaluate the relationships between variables and Killip class 3-4.The ORBIT and HAS-BLED scores were higher in the Killip class 3-4 group than in the Killip class 1-2 group (P < .05). The areas under the ROC curve of the ORBIT and HAS-BLED scores for predicting the higher Killip classification were 0.818 (95% CI: 0.786-0.847, P < .0001) and 0.674 (95% CI: 0.636-0.710, P < .0001), respectively. In multivariate logistic analysis, the high ORBIT score was positively associated with Killip classes 3 to 4 after adjustment (odds ratio: 2.306, 95% CI: 1.084-4.911, P = .012).A graded relationship was found in the elevated ORBIT and HAS-BLED scores and Killip classes 3 to 4 in patients with STEMI. The ORBIT score is independently associated with the Killip 3-4 in patients with STEMI.
