Sex Difference in 5-year Relative Survival Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Survival rates following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) show variability across studies, particularly regarding sex-specific outcomes. Relative survival analysis, which considers survival patterns in sex-and age-matched general populations, could help explain this variability.

Methods

In a 2011 nationwide South Korean PCI cohort study with 48,783 patients, all-cause death was assessed as the primary outcome over 5 years. Observed and relative survival rates at 5 years conditional on surviving 0 days, 30 days, 1 year, and 2 years were assessed. Sex-specific differences in clinical characteristics were adjusted using propensity score-matching.

Results

In the unadjusted analyses, 15,710 females had more cardiovascular risk factors than 33,073 males.
