Why the study?
Is female sex associated with increased in-hospital bleeding and mortality in patients with acute coronary syndromes undergoing PCI?
Is female sex associated with increased in-hospital bleeding and mortality in patients with acute coronary syndromes undergoing PCI?
In patients with ACS undergoing PCI, women experience higher rates of in-hospital bleeding compared to men, but this does not translate to worse short- or long-term mortality outcomes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Women with ACS undergoing PCI had higher bleeding risk without mortality excess; leaves open whether sex-specific strategies improve safety.
Solinas et al. (2014) studied this question.
