McLaughlin TJ, et al. – Via analyzing a cohort of 1,433 survivors of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA; 41% women; 44% out-of-hospital), researchers compared the long-term survival between women and men who visited their institution between 2002 and 2012 and followed through February 20, 2017. The primary endpoint was mortality. During the follow-up period (median: 3.6 years), 45% patients (53% women vs 43% men) died. Upon adjusting for unbalanced baseline covariates, differences in survival between men and women disappeared. Both sexes demonstrated comparable long-term mortality after SCA. The primary reasons for differences in unadjusted mortality included older age, different risk profiles at the time of index event, and differential treatment with implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
