Why the study?

Does female sex increase the risk of in-hospital mortality in patients admitted with STEMI?

Structured PICO

Does female sex increase the risk of in-hospital mortality in patients admitted with STEMI?

Population

2,348 patients admitted with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) across 19 hospitals in Serbia (773 women, 1575 men) from the ISACS-TC registry.

Intervention

Female sex

Comparator

Male sex

Outcome

In-hospital mortalityhard clinical

Women presenting with STEMI in Serbia experience significantly higher in-hospital mortality than men, which is largely driven by disparities in receiving guideline-directed medical therapy and primary PCI.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Supports sex-specific STEMI risk assessment; leaves open whether addressing care disparities improves outcomes in women.
