Gender differences in the treatment and outcomes of patients hospitalized with ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions Feb 17, 2020
Hannan EL, Wu Y, Tamis-Holland J, et al. - Because there is little knowledge about the mortality of men and women not undergoing revascularization, and the effect of age on relative male-female mortality needs to be revisited, researchers contrasted mortality for women and men hospitalized with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by age and revascularization status. Between 2013 and 2015, an observational database of 23,809 individuals with STEMI presenting at nonfederal New York State hospitals was used to contrast risk-adjusted inhospital/30-day mortality for women and men and to examine the impact of age on those differences. According to findings, women with STEMI, and particularly older women, had higher inhospital/30-day mortality rates compared with their male counterparts. Women had higher mortality rates among revascularized patients but not among unrevascularized patients.
