Time Trends in Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Meta-Analysis on Sex Differences.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is considered the procedure of choice for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), as it significantly improves cardiovascular outcomes. However, considerable uncertainty persists regarding the potential sex differences in PCI outcomes, due to conflicting results in previous studies.

Objectives

This meta-analysis aims to evaluate potential sex-related differences in cardiovascular adverse outcomes after PCI among ACS patients.

Methods

The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and its components. Outcomes were examined in various time frames including: short-term (within 1 month after PCI), mid-term (within 1 year), and long-term (within >1 year). A random effects model was used to estimat
