Why the study?
The study aimed to compare long-term prognosis after isolated CABG between white and black patients and investigate risk factors for poorer outcomes among black patients.
Does black race compared to white race worsen long-term prognosis in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting?
Does black race compared to white race worsen long-term prognosis in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting?
Black patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting have a significantly higher long-term incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events compared to white patients, despite similar preoperative characteristics.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Black patients show higher post-CABG MACCE despite matching; leaves open whether unmeasured factors explain disparities in this observational cohort.
