Sex differences in myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery and postoperative mortality
Main finding · Incidence of MINSResult — go to the resultOdds ratio 0.76 95% CI 0.71–0.81Authors' conclusion
The incidence of MINS was lower in women than in men. In patients with MINS, female sex may be associated with a survival benefit.
