Abstract
<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Despite greater awareness of disparities in care and outcomes of women and men with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), no consistent attenuation of these differences over last decade has been observed. We aimed to identify differences by sex in management and 30-day mortality using the European Society of Cardiology Acute Cardiovascular Care Association quality indicators (QI) for AMI.</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> The 20 QIs proportions and standard errors were calculated for 771 patients with AMI who were admitted to the cardiology department of two tertiary hospitals in Portugal between August 2013 and December 2014. The association between the composite QI and 30-day mortality was derived from logistic regression.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Significantly fewer eligible women received timely reperfusion, were discharged on dual antiplatelet therapy, on high intensity statins and were referred to cardiac rehabilitation than men. Women less often received recommended interventions (59.6% vs 65.2%, p<0.001) and also had a higher mean GRACE 2.0 risk score adjusted 30-day mortality (3.0% vs 1.7%, p<0.001). An inverse association between the composite QI and crude 30-day mortality (Figure 1) was observed for both sexes (odds ratio [OR] 0.08, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.01-0.64 for the highest performance tertile compared to the lowest).</p> <p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Performance in AMI management is lower in women compared to men and is associated with higher 30-day mortality, still worse for women. Objective and guideline supported QIs in constant assessment of practice´s quality have the potential to improve healthcare delivery and prognosis in overall AMI population and also to bridge the gap between women and men. </p>
