  1. Data are number (%), mean ± SD, or median (interquartile range)
  2. ITT intention-to treat, PP per-protocol
  3. aCalculated as the intervention group vs. or minus the control group
  4. bContinued decrease of hemoglobin level and required blood transfusion and/or transarterial embolization
  5. cNon-ST elevation myocardial infarction, diagnosed according to serum cardiac troponin I elevation and echocardiographic examination
  6. dFever > 38 °C, increased white blood cell count (> 12 × 109/L) and elevated inflammatory biomarkers necessitating upgrading antibiotic treatment
