Overview

Analysis of 10-year outcomes reveals no gender mortality difference post-primary PCI for STEMI, highlighting age at presentation's role.

Key Points

  • No gender difference in mortality was found after adjusting for age at presentation in patients treated with primary PCI for STEMI.
  • Unadjusted mortality rates at 10 years were 33.4% for males and 46.9% for females, showing higher mortality in females before adjustment.
  • Cox proportional hazards regression was used to analyze data from a cohort of 691 patients treated with primary PCI across a decade.
  • These findings suggest that understanding age-related factors may help tailor treatment strategies for myocardial infarction patients.
