Cohort (n=5,324)
Woods et al. (2003) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (n=5,324). Female gender vs. Male gender was evaluated on Mortality. Female gender was not associated with adjusted mortality in CABG patients, but predicted higher morbidity including intraoperative complications (RR 2.09; 95% CI 1.35-3.23).
