Key result
Female patients aged over 75 years undergoing isolated CABG had a higher incidence of diabetes mellitus and higher EuroSCORE values compared to males, while smoking rates were higher in males.
Why the study?
Is the risk of isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery in women aged above 75 years higher compared to men?
Observational (n=174)
Is the risk of isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery in women aged above 75 years higher compared to men?
Female patients over 75 years of age undergoing isolated CABG present with higher baseline surgical risk (EuroSCORE) and higher rates of diabetes compared to male patients.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Higher preoperative risk profiles in women >75 years undergoing CABG warrant careful risk stratification; leaves open whether adjusted outcomes differ by sex.

Hasan Uncu (2014) conducted an observational in Isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) (n=174). Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated on Early mortality rates, intraoperative and postoperative data. Female patients aged over 75 years undergoing isolated CABG had a higher incidence of diabetes mellitus and higher EuroSCORE values compared to males, while smoking rates were higher in males.
