Abstract
Women have a worse long-term outcome after CABG than men in univariate analysis. However, after adjusting for potential confounders female sex became a non-significant predictor for prognosis, possibly due to the small sample size of women. Definite answers regarding sex-differences in long-term outcome after CABG should come from future pooling of studies comprising a larger number of women.
