Key result
Female gender was not associated with an increased risk of early or late mortality compared with men in STEMI patients treated by primary PCI (3-year HR 0.87; 95% CI 0.71-1.10).

Effect estimate: HR 0.87 (95% CI 0.71-1.10)
In STEMI patients treated with primary PCI, early and long-term mortality rates are similar between men and women, despite women having more disadvantageous clinical characteristics and longer ischemic times.
Sjauw et al. (2010) conducted a cohort in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (n=3,277). Female gender vs. Male gender was evaluated on Early and late mortality (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.71-1.10). Female gender was not associated with an increased risk of early or late mortality compared with men in STEMI patients treated by primary PCI (3-year HR 0.87; 95% CI 0.71-1.10).
