Influence of Gender on Ischemic Times and Outcomes After ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Short and long-term mortality in women and men undergoing primary angioplasty: A comprehensive meta-analysis

“…S3). However, when a meta-analysis was performed using multivariable adjusted effect estimates from 20 studies [5,8,9,18,19,23,25,26,30,31,42,47,49,50,[52][53][54]56,57,64] (n = 52,492), there were no differences among women and men for long-term mortality [RR: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.93-1.11, p = 0.75] (Fig. 4).…”

Worse outcome in women with STEMI: a systematic review of prognostic studies

“…After reviewing titles and abstracts 62 studies were evaluated using full texts, and another 41 studies were excluded. Consequently, a total of 21 studies were added to this review . All the included studies were prospective, observational studies.…”

A Meta‐Analysis of Sex‐Related Differences in Outcomes After Primary Percutaneous Intervention for ST‐Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

“…Twenty‐six studies eligible for the meta‐analysis were identified and included, representing 98,778 patients (73,559 men and 25,219 women). The pooled baseline characteristics by sex showed that women were older, were more likely to have hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hypercholesterolemia.…”

“…Overall, women with STEMI present at older age and with more risk factors . After adjusting for confounding factors, however, sex differences in mortality were attenuated in most studies, thus, suggesting that this higher baseline cardiovascular risk profile of women might explain the differences in outcome . Other authors, in contrast, reported female sex was independently correlated to a poorer or better prognosis .…”
