Gender disparities in patients treated with veno-arterial ECMO for cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction

BackgroundIt is crucial to investigate whether there are prognostic disparities among AMI-CS patients undergoing VA-ECMO support. However, there is currently limited data available from China.AimsTo evaluate the gender differences in the characteristics, management, and outcomes among patients with...

description BackgroundIt is crucial to investigate whether there are prognostic disparities among AMI-CS patients undergoing VA-ECMO support. However, there is currently limited data available from China.AimsTo evaluate the gender differences in the characteristics, management, and outcomes among patients with AMI-CS received VA-ECMO support in China.MethodsPatients admitted with AMI-CS at the Chest Pain Center of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region People's Hospital between 2018 and 2023 were included. Sex differences in baseline characteristics, in-hospital management, and outcomes were compared. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to reduce the impact of baseline clinical differences. Cox regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between gender and in-hospital mortality.ResultsAmong 193 patients presenting with AMI-CS, 15.54% were women. Women were older (67.23 ± 13 vs. 60.37 ± 12.98, p = 0.0028), had a higher prevalence of comorbidities, and a lower proportion of smoking history. Women were less likely to receive vascular reconstruction (70% vs. 88%, p = 0.023), had a significantly shorter duration of ECMO support (2.72 days vs. 4.87 days, p = 0.027), as well as shorter hospitalization days compared to male patients (11.73 ± 10.52 vs. 16.89 ± 10.74, p = 0.026). In-hospital all-cause mortality was notably higher among female patients (90.0%) compared to male patients (71.2%, p = 0.023). However, after PSM, the difference in in-hospital mortality rates between genders was not statistically significant (p = 0.16).ConclusionIn this retrospective study, women were less likely to receive revascularization and exhibited worse in-hospital outcomes compared to men. However, the observed sex difference in in-hospital mortality was attenuated after adjusting for clinical characteristics and acute treatments among AMI-CS patients receiving ECMO support.
