The role of the female gender on mid-term outcome after coronary artery bypass grafting: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Data on female gender differences on clinical prognosis after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are still controversial. We evaluated retrospectively the impact of women patients in comparison with men undergoing CABG on mid-term outcome.

Methods

Between December 2014 and March 2022, 1,044 consecutive patients (162 females, 15.5%, 882 males, 84.5%) underwent isolated CABG. The mean follow-up was 40±27 (median 38) months. Logistic and Cox model analysis regressions were used to assess the risk of female gender and other variables, Kaplan-Meier estimates to assess survival rates.

Results

Women did not have a significant higher operative mortality than men (3.09% vs. 1.93%; P=0.37). There was no difference in the use of left internal mammary artery
