Abstract

Introduction: Sex-related differences on cardiovascular mortality in patients with acutecoronary syndrome have been debated for decades. Although the gap between the two sexeshas begun to close, women still have higher all-cause mortality. However, there is little datawith respect to elderly women, particularly for those over 80 years. Therefore, we sought todetermine all-cause mortality of elderly women with acute myocardial infarction and tocompare it to men.Materials and Method: This retrospective study evaluated patients 80 years or older whowere admitted to the cardiology clinic due to acute myocardial infarction between May 2015and November 2017. The primary outcomes of the study were in-hospital, 30-day, and longterm all-cause mortality.Results: Two hundred twenty patients (126 women and 94 men) were included in the finalanalysis. Median follow-up was eight months. Long-term all-cause mortality of women wassignificantly higher compared to men [n=52 (41.3%) vs. n=26 (27.7%), respectively; p=0.03].There was no significant sex difference for both in-hospital and 30-day mortality, althoughwomen had more events. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed lower cumulative survival for women(log-rank: p=0.02), and Cox regression analysis found that female sex was as an independentrisk factor for mortality [hazard ratio=1.7 (95% confidence interval=1.06-2.72); p=0.02].Conclusion: Sex-related differences on mortality continue to be a critical issue, even forelderly patients with acute myocardial infarction. Since women have significantly higher longterm all-cause mortality, they should strictly be treated according to the guidelines and everyeffort should be made for risk reduction with close follow-up.

Özet

Giriş: Akut koroner sendrom gelişen hastalarda cinsiyet farkının kardiyovasküler mortalite üzerine olan etkisi uzun yıllardır tartışılmaktadır. Her iki cinsiyet arasındaki fark kapanmaya başlamış olsa da, kadınların hala tüm nedenlere bağlı ölüm oranları daha yüksektir. Öte yandan, özellikle 80 yaş üstü yaşlı kadınlarla ilgili çok az veri bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada akut miyokard enfarktüsü geçiren yaşlı kadınların tüm nedenlere bağlı mortalitelerin belirlenmesi ve erkeklerle karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmada, Mayıs 2015-Kasım 2017 tarihleri arasında akut miyokard infarktüsü nedeniyle kardiyoloji kliniğine yatırılan 80 yaş ve üzeri hastalar değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın temel sonlanım noktası hastane içi, 30 günlük ve uzun süreli tüm nedenlere bağlı ölümlerının belirlenmesidir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 220 hasta (126 kadın ve 94 erkek) dahil edilmiştir. Ortalama takip süresi 8 aydır. Kadınların uzun dönemde tüm nedenlere bağlı mortalitesi erkeklere göre anlamlı derecede yüksek bulunmuştur [sırasıyla n=52 (% 41.3) ve n=26 (%27.7); p=0.03]. Öte yandan, kadınların gerek hastane içi gerekse 30 günlük mortalitesi daha yüksek olmasına rağmen, istatiksel açıdan cinsiyetler arası fark bulunmamıştır. Kaplan-Meier analizinde kadınların kümülatif sağkalımı daha düşüktür (log-rank: p=0.02) ve Cox regresyon analizi, kadın cinsiyetin mortalite için bağımsız bir risk faktörü olduğunu göstermiştir [tehlike oranı=1.7 (%95 güven aralığı=1.06-2.72); p=0.02]. Sonuç: Akut miyokard enfarktüsü geçiren hastalarda cinsiyetin mortalite üzerine olan etkisi yaşlılarda da önemini korumaktadır. Kadınların uzun vadede tüm nedenlere bağlı ölüm oranları önemli ölçüde yüksek olduğundan, bu hastalar klavuz önerilerine göre tedavi edilmeli ve yakından takip edilerek risk azaltımı için her türlü çaba gösterilmelidir.
