Key result
Female gender was associated with significantly decreased relative long-term survival after CABG compared to male patients, a tendency maintained in patients younger than 70 years.
Why the study?
Does female gender or age <70 years worsen relative long-term survival after primary isolated CABG?
Population
6,699 patients undergoing primary isolated coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG)
Comparison
Primary isolated CABG vs Male patients and patients ≥70 years of age
Design
Cohort
Follow-up

May prompt closer follow-up in women post-CABG; leaves open whether sex-specific models improve risk prediction.

Does female gender or age <70 years worsen relative long-term survival after primary isolated CABG?
Relative long-term survival after CABG is poorer in women and in patients younger than 70 years, likely driven by a higher burden of comorbidities such as low ejection fraction and reduced renal function.
Norheim et al. (2011) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) (n=6,699). Female gender vs. Male gender was evaluated on Relative long-term survival. Female gender was associated with significantly decreased relative long-term survival after CABG compared to male patients, a tendency maintained in patients younger than 70 years.
