The Influence of Gender in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: an Eight-Year Prospective Hospitalized Cohort Study

Abstract

Women undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery have more comorbidities at surgical presentation compared with men. Women have more unadjusted mortality, which is confounded by the difference in age and body surface area. But, even after multiple adjustments, female gender is a predictor of higher morbidity in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft.
