Implication
Trends toward older and female revascularisation patients may signal broader access; leaves open effects on outcomes by sex and age.
Structured PICO
P
Population
19,665 residents of South East Thames, East Anglian, North Western health regions and Greater Glasgow, Lanarkshire, and Ayr/Arran health boards (United Kingdom) who underwent either coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary angioplasty without any concomitant procedure during 1987-8, 1989-90, 1991-2 and 1992-3.

Intervention
Coronary revascularisation (coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary angioplasty)
