Gender disparities in outcomes of cardiogenic shock secondary to Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) has a preponderance for females, particularly postmenopausal. However, recent data from multicenter registries identified a worse prognosis in male patients, particularly with cardiogenic shock. We aim to investigate gender disparities in outcomes of TTC-associated cardiogenic shock (TTC-CS).

Methods

The National Readmission Database (2016-2020) was utilized to identify TTC-CS hospitalizations. Cohorts were stratified by gender. A Propensity Score Matching (PSM) model, which utilized complete Mahalanobis Distance Matching within the Propensity Score Caliper following multivariate regression, successfully matched males and females. Pearson's χ² test was applied to the propensity-matched cohorts to compare outcomes.
