Resum
Background. Despite technological innovations and improvements in stents and devices, sex-related discrepancies are still reported in the outcomes after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), depending on biological and sex-specific pathophysiological differences, which have not been completely understood. The aim of the present study was to provide real-world data on the prognostic role of sex among patients with STEMI, enclosed into a recent up-to-date international registry. Methods. The ISACS-STEMI COVID-19 is a large-scale retrospective registry, including STEMI patients treated with mechanical reperfusion between 1 March and 30 June, 2019 and 2020. Patients, treated in 109 centers across Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and North Africa, were grouped according to sex. Primary endpoint: In-hospital mortality; secondary endpoints: Time delay, 30-day mortality, and postprocedural Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 3 flow. Results. We included 16,083 patients, 24.3% females (54.3% hospitalized in 2019, 45.7% in 2020). Women with STEMI were older, more often diabetic and hypertensive (p < 0.001), with a higher prevalence of hypercholesterolemia (p = 0.02), longer ischemia time (p = 0.01), ambulance referral (p = 0.03) and cardiogenic shock at presentation (p = 0.05), but less frequently smokers, with a previous cardiovascular event (p < 0.001) or anterior STEMI (p = 0.03) as compared to males. Preprocedural TIMI 0 flow, multivessel disease, need for thrombectomy (p < 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively), use of Glycoprotein IIbIIIa inhibitors or cangrelor, radial access and implantation of drug-eluting stents (p < 0.001, p < 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively) were also more common in men. Impaired postprocedural epicardial reperfusion (TIMI flow 0-2) was observed more frequently in females as compared to males (10% vs. 7.2%; adjusted OR [95% CI] = 1.30 [1.13-1.49], p = 0.01). In-hospital mortality was 5.8%, significantly higher among women (8.3% vs. 5%, p < 0.001, adjusted HR [95% CI] = 1.26 [1.06-1.5], p = 0.01). Similar data were observed for 30-day mortality (10.3% vs. 6.2%, p < 0.001, adjusted HR [95% CI] = 1.22 [1.06-1.38], p = 0.007). Conclusions. Among STEMI patients being treated with the most updated standard of care for primary percutaneous coronary intervention, female sex is still associated with higher complexity and impaired prognosis, displaying suboptimal epicardial reperfusion and increased in-hospital and 30-day mortality.
