May warrant closer monitoring of women after CABG; leaves open mechanisms and need for prospective confirmation before practice change.

Does female gender predict worse early clinical outcomes in patients undergoing isolated CABG?
Absolute Event Rate: 4.9% vs 1.1%
p-value: p=0.0026
Female gender is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes and higher in-hospital mortality after isolated CABG, largely driven by higher baseline comorbidities and acute presentation.
Ahmad et al. (2010) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease (n=971). Female gender vs. Male gender was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (p=0.0026). Female gender was associated with significantly higher in-hospital mortality compared to male gender (4.9% vs 1.1%; p=0.0026) following isolated coronary artery bypass grafting.
