The association of gender to cardiovascular outcomes after coronary artery revascularization in patients with end-stage renal disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inadequate recruitment of women and an exclusion of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in coronary revascularization trials have led to knowledge gaps of gender-based outcomes.

Hypothesis

Women have equivalent cardiovascular outcomes when compared to men.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective observational study utilizing Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) databases and identified 1015 adults with ESRD who underwent coronary revascularization between 1996 and 2008. We ascertained baseline characteristics, primary (mortality at 5 years) and secondary (myocardial infarction [MI] and repeat revascularization) outcomes from KPNC databases, state death certificates, and Social Security Administration files.
