Key result
Women experience persistently lower health-related quality of life than men the first year post-MI.
Why the study?
Sex-based differences in baseline values and longitudinal trajectories of health-related quality of life after myocardial infarction had not been fully evaluated after adjusting for other important factors.
Does female sex compared to male sex affect health-related quality of life trajectories in patients following myocardial infarction?
Cohort (n=9,551)
Yes
Does female sex compared to male sex affect health-related quality of life trajectories in patients following myocardial infarction?
Women experience significantly lower health-related quality of life than men both at baseline and up to 12 months following a myocardial infarction, highlighting the need for tailored post-MI interventions.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Women had lower post-MI HRQoL; leaves open whether sex-specific interventions improve trajectories.

Dondo et al. (2022) conducted a cohort in Myocardial infarction (n=9,551). Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated on Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measured by EQ VAS and EQ-5D (Adjusted EQ VAS sex coefficient -4.41, 95% CI -5.16 to -3.66). Women experienced persistently lower health-related quality of life than men during the 12 months following myocardial infarction (adjusted EQ VAS sex coefficient -4.41; 95% CI -5.16 to -3.66).
