Abstract
PurposeThe current study was to evaluate the gender-disparities in the in-hospital thrombotic and bleeding events among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Patients and MethodsPatients with CKD undergoing PCI were retrospectively enrolled. Baseline characteristics, and thrombotic and bleeding events occurred during hospitalization were collected and compared by gender.ResultsCompared to males (n = 558), females (n = 402) were older and more likely to have diabetes mellitus (37.1% vs 29.7%). Females had a lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; 51.2 ± 7.9 vs 54.6 ± 5.1 mL/min/1.73m2) and were more likely to undergo urgent PCI (66.7% vs 60.2%) and use glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor (15.4% vs 7.5%) at peri-PCI period. Compared to males, females had a higher rate of in-hospital mortality which was due to thrombotic events (9.0% vs 3.4%). Females also had a higher rate of moderate-to-severe hemorrhage (8.0% vs 3.2%). After multivariable adjustment, diabetes mellitus (odds ratio [OR] 1.15 and 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07–1.29) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) presentation (OR 1.53 and 95% CI 1.34–1.93) were associated with gender-disparities in composite thrombotic events. Ageing (OR 1.10 and 95% CI 1.02–1.33), diabetes mellitus (OR 1.21 and 95% CI 1.07–1.40) and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor use (OR 1.13 and 95% CI 1.02–1.28) were associated with composite bleeding events.ConclusionFemales with CKD undergoing PCI had a higher risk of experiencing in-hospital thrombotic and bleeding events than males.
