Sex differences in hospital outcomes of medically-managed type B aortic dissection
Women with TBAD managed medically experienced higher in-hospital mortality than men despite lower rates of atherosclerotic disease and risk factors. However, there were no sex differences in readmission risk at 30, 90, and 180 days. Prior research has demonstrated sex differences in presenting TBAD characteristics, including older age, varied signs/symptoms, and diagnostic delay in women. Data are needed to delineate additional causes of adverse acute outcomes in women managed medically, including condition- and medication-specific factors.
