Journal Article
Sex difference in clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention in Korean population
2014
Overview
Conflicting data on sex-based differences in outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among Western population exist. Little is known about the nature of sex-specific PCI outcomes in an Asian population.
We performed a pooled analysis using 23,604 patients from 11 prospective PCI clinical studies performed in Korea. The primary outcome was a major cardiovascular event, defined as composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, or stroke. Secondary outcomes were all-cause mortality and target vessel revascularization.
Thirty-day and 2-year rates of major cardiovascular events were more frequent in women than in men, mainly because of a higher incidence of periprocedural myocardial infarction in women (30-day: 9.2% vs 7.1%; 2-year: 11.2% vs 8.9%). After multivariable adjustment, women had significantly higher risks of 30-day (hazard ratio [HR] 1.27, 95% CI 1.19-1.36) and 2-year major cardiovascular events (HR 1.21, 95% CI 1.13-1.30). Unadjusted 30-day and 2-year all-cause mortality was similar between women and men (30-day: 0.5% vs 0.4%; 2-year: 2.8% vs 2.8%). However, after multivariable adjustment, women had a lower adjusted risk of 2-year death (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.77-0.87). No sex-based difference was observed for target vessel revascularization (HR 1.07, 95% CI 0.91-1.25). Overall, sex-specific findings for outcomes were consistent across multiple patient subgroups.
Among Korean population undergoing contemporary PCI, women have a significantly higher risk of short- and long-term major cardiovascular events than do men but have better long-term survival.
