Absolute Event Rate: 21.1% vs 21%
In octogenarians with ACS, clinical factors like hypotension, higher Killip class, and STEMI are strong predictors of in-hospital mortality, while evidence-based medical therapies remain protective.
Manfrini et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Acute coronary syndrome (n=437). Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated on In-hospital mortality. In octogenarians with acute coronary syndrome, in-hospital mortality was similar between women (21.1%) and men (21.0%), with hypotension, Killip class ≥2, and STEMI as independent predictors of death.
