Key result
In elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery, female gender was not associated with significantly faster emergence from propofol anesthesia compared to male gender (eye-opening time 11.2 vs 11.4 minutes).

Does gender influence the emergence time from propofol anesthesia in elderly patients?
In elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery, there is no significant gender difference in emergence time from propofol anesthesia, suggesting that previously reported faster emergence in women may be related to premenopausal sex hormones.
No gender difference in propofol emergence among elderly surgical patients; supports premenopausal hormone hypothesis and leaves open age-specific effects.

Yachiyo Tabuchi (2008) conducted an observational in Abdominal surgery (n=60). Female gender vs. Male gender was evaluated on Eye-opening time (minutes) (p=NS). In elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery, female gender was not associated with significantly faster emergence from propofol anesthesia compared to male gender (eye-opening time 11.2 vs 11.4 minutes).
