Aortic Dissection in Women

Female patients have higher in‐hospital mortality after type A aortic dissection repair: A population study from the national inpatient sample

“…Given these unfavorable conditions, it is reasonable that female patients were more likely to be classified under APR‐DRG Class 4, indicating a higher risk condition. Beyond age differences, prior research has indicated that female patients with TAAD often present with atypical symptoms 3,11 . However, this aspect could not be evaluated in our study.…”

“…Beyond age differences, prior research has indicated that female patients with TAAD often present with atypical symptoms. 3,11 However, this aspect could not be evaluated in our study.…”

“…For instance, a prior study suggested that atypical symptoms in female patients might delay their pursuit of medical assistance, potentially elevating the risk of mortality. 3 Previous research has shown that inhospital complications of tamponade occur more frequently in female patients, leading to higher inhospital mortality compared to men. 12 This pattern was also evident in our study, where pericardial complications were more prevalent in female patients following TAAD.…”

“…Current research indicates that the incidence of TAAD is approximately 3 to 6 per 100,000 person-years, with a male-to-female ratio of roughly 2 to 1. [2][3][4][5] TAAD repair is a high-risk surgical procedure, with in-hospital mortality rates reported to be between 10% and 25% in various studies. [6][7][8][9][10] The impact of gender on TAAD has been a topic of ongoing debate.…”

“…The incidence of TAAD varies between male and female patients. Current research indicates that the incidence of TAAD is approximately 3 to 6 per 100,000 person‐years, with a male‐to‐female ratio of roughly 2 to 1 2–5 …”
