摘要
OBJECTIVE:Women are less likely to receive guideline-recommended cardiovascular care, but evaluation of sex-based disparities in cardiac surgical procedures is limited. Receipt of concomitant atrial fibrillation (AF) procedures during nonmitral cardiac surgery was compared by sex for patients with preoperative AF.METHODS:Patients with preoperative AF undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and/or aortic valve replacement at any of the 33 hospitals in Michigan from 2014 to 2022 were included. Patients with prior cardiac surgery, transcatheter AF procedure, or emergency/salvage status were excluded. Hierarchical logistic regression identified predictors of concomitant AF procedures, account for hospital and surgeon as random effects.RESULTS:Of 5460 patients with preoperative AF undergoing nonmitral cardiac surgery, 24% (n = 1291) were women with a mean age of 71 years. Women were more likely to have paroxysmal (vs persistent) AF than men (80% vs 72%; P < .001) and had a higher mean predicted risk of mortality (5% vs 3%; P < .001). The unadjusted rate of concomitant AF procedure was 59% for women and 67% for men (P < .001). After risk adjustment, women had 26% lower adjusted odds of concomitant AF procedure than men (adjusted odds ratio, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.64-0.86; P < .001). Female sex was the risk factor associated with the lowest odds of concomitant AF procedure.CONCLUSIONS:Women are less likely to receive guideline recommended concomitant AF procedure during nonmitral surgery. Identification of barriers to concomitant AF procedure in women may improve treatment of AF.
