Preoperative diabetes signals elevated CABG mortality risk; leaves open whether women face higher mortality than men after risk adjustment.
Are there differences in coronary risk factors and in-hospital mortality between women and men undergoing primary isolated coronary artery bypass grafting?
Women undergoing primary isolated CABG present with a higher burden of specific risk factors such as diabetes and hypertension compared to men, and preoperative diabetes is a significant predictor of in-hospital mortality.
