  • Razlike v zgodnji bolnišnični umrljivosti med spoloma pri bolnikih z akutnim infarktom srca = Gender-related diferences in early in-hospital mortality of patients with acute myocardial infarction
    Sinkovič, Andreja
    Background. Acute myocardial infarction (AMIj is more frequent in men than in women, but women have higher early in-hospital mortality compared to men, mainly due to their older age. Causes of early ... in-hospital deaths are similar between thegenders. Patients and methods. Out of 73 patients with AMI 251 weremen and 122 women (p < 0.05). Mean age for men was 60.6+-11.8 years and 69.44+-22.0 years for women (p <0.05). During 21 days of in-hospital treatmentgender-related differences in early in-hospital mortality were registrated according to age groups and the causes of death. Results. In different age groups, AMI was significantly more frequent in men younger than 60 years and in women over 70 years. Early in-hospital mortality of our patients with AMI was 21.2%,17.3% for men and 29.5% for women. In different age groups, early in-hospital mortality of women was significantly higher onlyin the seventh decade of life. Heart failure was the leading cause of death, but between the genders, there were no statistically significant differences in the causes of early in-hospital death (p >0,05). Conclusions. 32.7% of our patients with AMI were women, who were in average about 9 years older than men. Their early in-hospital mortality was significantly higher than that of men. With older age, AMI was more frequent in women. Like in men,heart failure was the leading cause of death.
