Sex differences in in-hospital management and outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndrome: Findings from the CCC project

Circulation Apr 12, 2019

Hao Y, et al. - Researchers assessed gender disparities in acute management, medical therapies for secondary prevention, and in-hospital mortality in 82,196 patients admitted for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) at 192 hospitals in China from 2014 to 2018 by analyzing data from the CCC-ACS project (Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China–Acute Coronary Syndrome). They found less frequent receipt of acute treatments and strategies for secondary prevention among women hospitalized for ACS in China vs men. The in-hospital mortality differed by sex, mainly due to worse clinical profiles and fewer evidence-based acute treatments offered to women with ACS. In order to narrow gender-associated differences in quality of care and outcomes in patients with ACS, specially targeted quality improvement programs may be justified.
