Perić et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery bypass surgery (n=243). Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated on Quality of life worsening in section of pain (OR 3.93, 95% CI 1.74-8.88, p=0.001). Female sex was an independent predictor of quality of life worsening in the section of pain six months after coronary artery bypass grafting (OR 3.93; 95% CI 1.74-8.88; P=0.001).
