Does age ≥70 years affect mortality and postoperative complications differently in women versus men undergoing first-time isolated coronary artery bypass surgery?
Does age ≥70 years affect mortality and postoperative complications differently in women versus men undergoing first-time isolated coronary artery bypass surgery?
Older women (≥70 years) undergoing first-time isolated CABG are at no greater risk of mortality or postoperative complications compared with younger women or older men.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Age ≥70 may not elevate mortality risk in women after CABG; leaves open need for sex-stratified validation in prospective cohorts.
Kb et al. (1992) studied this question.
