ABSTRACT
AIMS:
The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between sex and clinical outcomes and treatment-related complications in patients with ST-elevation or non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (ACS) randomized to treatment with ticagrelor or clopidogrel in the PLATelet inhibition and patient Outcomes (PLATO) trial.METHODS:
The associations between sex subgroup and the primary composite outcomes, secondary outcomes, and major bleeding endpoints as well as interaction of sex subgroup with treatment effects were analysed using Cox proportional-hazards models.RESULTS:
Sex was not significantly associated with the probability of the primary composite endpoint [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 1.02 (0.91-1.16)], or other adverse cardiovascular endpoints. Ticagrelor was similarly more effective than clopidogrel in reducing rates of the primary endpoint in women 11.2 vs. 13.2% [adjusted HR 0.88 (0.74-1.06)] and men 9.4 vs. 11.1% [adjusted HR 0.86 (0.76-0.97)] (interaction P-value 0.78), all-cause death in women 5.8 vs. 6.8% [adjusted HR 0.90 (0.69-1.16)] and men 4.0 vs. 5.7% [adjusted HR 0.80 (0.67-0.96)] (interaction P-value 0.49), and definite stent thrombosis in women 1.2 vs. 1.4% [adjusted HR 0.71 (0.36-1.38)] and men 1.4 vs. 2.1% [adjusted HR 0.63 (0.45-0.89)] (interaction P-value 0.78). The treatments did not differ for PLATO-defined overall major bleeding complications in women [adjusted HR 1.01 (0.83-1.23)] or men [adjusted HR 1.10 (0.98-1.24)]. Sex had no significant association with these outcomes (interactions P = 0.43-0.88).CONCLUSION:
Female sex is not an independent risk factor for adverse clinical outcomes in moderate-to-high risk ACS patients. Ticagrelor has a similar efficacy and safety profile in men and women.Palabras clave
