Overview

Men may need closer post-discharge surveillance after AMI; extends sex-difference observations but remains hypothesis-generating.

Structured PICO

P
Population
3,148 patients hospitalized with validated initial acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in 16 teaching and community hospitals in Worcester, Mass., between 1975 and 1988.
O
Outcome
Incidence rates, in-hospital and long-term survival after initial AMI, and out-of-hospital deaths caused by coronary diseasehard clinical

This community-based study found that while adjusted in-hospital mortality after initial AMI was similar between sexes, men experienced worse long-term survival post-discharge compared to women.
