ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the gender differences on the short-term outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction in the real world.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 471 consecutive patients [male 368(78.1%) and female 103(21.9%)] with acute myocardial infarction <72 hours in cardiac care unit were included. The clinical data, death and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events at 30 days post hospitalization were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Female patients were older (66.8 ± 10.1 vs. 56.9 ± 12.0, P < 0.001), TIMI score (5.1 ± 2.3 vs. 3.9 ± 2.1, P < 0.001) and GRACE score (162 ± 39 vs. 142 ± 35, P < 0.001) in female patients were higher than in male patients. Female patients had lower proportion of stent implantation (P = 0.038) while higher percentage of complex lesions and contraindications to PCI (P = 0.015) compared to male patients. Proportion of cardiac rupture, mitral regurgitation, malignant arrhythmia, post-infarction angina pectoris, contrast-induced nephropathy and minor gastrointestinal bleeding were also higher in female patients tan in male patients (P < 0.05). Thirty-day mortality was significantly higher in female patients than in male patients [5.8% (6/103) vs. 1.9% (7/368), P = 0.032], MACCE [10.7% (11/103) vs. 5.4% (20/368), P = 0.058] also tended to be higher in female patients than in male patients. Multi-logistic regression analysis showed that female gender was not an independent predictor for thirty-day mortality (P = 0.141) or MACCE (P = 0.426) while systolic blood pressure (OR = 1.072, 95%CI1.016-1.130, P = 0.010) and pericardial effusion after myocardial infarction (OR = 40.518, 95%CI1.098-1495.702, P = 0.044) were independent predictors for thirty-day mortality while systolic blood pressure (OR = 1.027, 95%CI1.002-1.052, P = 0.036) and left ventricular ejection fraction (OR = 1.108, 95%CI1.032-1.190, P = 0.005) were independent predictors for MACCE.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Female gender itself is not an independent predictor for thirty-day mortality and MACCE despite poorer clinical characteristics, higher incidence of complications, and worse prognosis in female patients.</p>
