Gender-based disparities in outcomes of coronary bifurcation stenting in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Around 15-20% of lesions necessitating percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) are attributed to coronary bifurcation lesions. We aim to study gender-based differences in PCI outcomes among bifurcation stents.

Methods

3 studies were included after thorough systematic search using MEDLINE (EMBASE and PubMed). CRAN-R software using the Metabin module was used for statistical analysis. Pooled odds ratios (OR) were calculated using the random effect model and the Mantel-Haenszel method, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) used to determine statistical significance. Heterogeneity was assessed using Higgins I².

Result

Women exhibited a higher risk of in-hospital mortality (OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.58-0.76, I² = 0%, P < 0.0001), post-procedural
