Gender Differences in Long-Term Outcomes of Young Patients Who Underwent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Long-Term Outcome Analysis from a Multicenter Registry in Japan.
American Journal of Cardiology 2023 September 12
Young patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have shown worse long-term outcomes but remain inadequately investigated. We analyzed 1,186 consecutive young patients (aged ≤55 years) from the Keio Cardiovascular PCI registry who were successfully discharged after PCI (2008 to 2019) and compared them to 5,048 older patients (aged 55 to 75 years). The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause death, acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, bleeding, stroke requiring admission, and coronary artery bypass grafting within 2 years after discharge. In the young patients, the mean age was 48.4 ± 5.4 years, acute coronary syndrome cases accounted for 69.6%, and 92 (7.8%) were female. Body mass index; hemoglobin levels; and proportions of smoking, hyperlipidemia, and ST-elevation myocardial infarction were lower and dialysis or active cancer proportions were higher in young female patients than male patients. A higher number of young female than male patients reached the primary end point and all-cause death (15.2% vs 7.1%, p = 0.01; 4.3% vs 1.0%, p = 0.023), mainly because of noncardiac death (4.3% versus 0.5%, p = 0.001). After covariate adjustment, the primary end point rates were higher among young women than men (hazard ratio 2.00, 95% confidence interval 1.03 to 3.89, p = 0.042). Gender did not predict the primary end point among older patients (vs men; hazard ratio 0.84, 95% confidence interval 0.67 to 1.06, p = 0.14). In conclusion, young women showed worse outcomes during the 2-year post-PCI follow-up, but this gender difference was absent in patients aged 55 to 75 years.
