Sex-based analysis of NSTEMI processes of care and outcomes by hospital: a nationwide cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Contemporary studies demonstrate that non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) processes of care vary according to sex. Little is known regarding variation in practice between geographical areas and centres.

Methods

We identified 305 014 NSTEMI admissions in the United Kingdom (UK) Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP), 2010-17, including female sex (110 209). Hierarchical, multivariate logistic regression models were fitted, assessing for differences in primary outcomes according to sex. Risk-standardized mortality rates (RSMR) were calculated for individual hospitals to illustrate the correlation with variables of interest. 'Heat maps' were plotted to show regional and sex-based variation in the opportunity-based quality indicator sc
