Key result
Gender-specific risk profiles alter operative mortality after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, though data remain controversial regarding gender as an independent variable.
Why the study?
How does gender affect risk profiles and operative mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery?
How does gender affect risk profiles and operative mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery?
Understanding gender-specific risks and modifying surgical practice may be helpful in improving patient outcomes after CABG.
Gender-specific CABG risk profiles may inform preoperative assessment; leaves open whether gender independently predicts mortality.
Gender-based outcome data in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has been the focus of extensive research over the last two decades. Increased awareness in gender-specific health and advancements in scientific research have produced evidence that risk profiles vary between genders and alter operative mortality after CABG. Some of these data remain controversial, emphasizing the complexity of gender as an independent variable and questioning processes of care that are intimately associated with outcome. Although patient gender cannot be changed, understanding gender-specific risks and modifying surgical practice may be helpful in improving patient outcomes.

Blasberg et al. (2011) conducted a review in Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Gender-specific risk assessment was evaluated on Operative mortality. Gender-specific risk profiles alter operative mortality after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, though data remain controversial regarding gender as an independent variable.
