AIMS: To determine if female gender is an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for @entity10260 @entity583 ( @entity583 ). A higher early mortality rate after @entity583 has been reported in @entity1 before the widespread use of PCI in @entity583 . PCI improves the prognosis of @entity583 , however, the effect of PCI in @entity1 in this setting is controversial. In a large regional prospective registry, we examined the in-hospital mortality after PCI for @entity583 . METHODS AND RESULTS: The greater Paris area comprises 11 million inhabitants. Data from all PCIs performed in 41 centres is entered in a mandatory registry. In-hospital mortality is recorded in another hospital-based database. From 2003 to 2007, 16,760 @entity1 were treated by PCI for @entity583 <24 hours; 21.9% were @entity1 . Female @entity1 were significantly older than @entity1 , 69.7    14.3 years versus 59.3    13.0 years (p<0.0001). The rate of @entity6 and @entity1455 were significantly higher in @entity1 versus @entity1 , respectively 19.0% versus 15.6%, p<0.0001 and 6.7% versus 4.0%, p<0.0001. The success rate of PCI was significantly lower in @entity1 : 94.7% versus 95.9%, p=0.002. In-hospital mortality was significantly higher in @entity1 9.8 % versus 4.3%, p<0.0001 and the impact of gender on mortality was significant only after the age of 75. By multivariate analysis, female gender is associated with higher in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS: After PCI for @entity583 , female gender is still an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality.

Female gender is an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality after XXXX in the era of primary PCI: insights from the greater Paris area PCI Registry.
