Age and sex differences in the efficacy of early invasive strategy for non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome: A comparative analysis in stable patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Previous works have struggled to clearly define sex-specific outcomes based on initial management in NSTE-ACS patients. We examined if early revascularization (<24 h) versus conservative strategy impacts differently based on sex and age in stable NSTE-ACS patients upon hospital admission.

Methods

We identified 8905 patients with diagnosis of non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) in the ISACS-TC database. Patients with cardiac arrest, hemodynamic instability, and serious ventricular arrhythmias were excluded. The final cohort consisted of 7589 patients. The characteristics between groups were adjusted using inverse probability of treatment weighting models. Primary outcome measure was all-cause 30-day mortality. Risk ratios (RRs) with their 95 % CIs w
