Age-Dependent Sex Effects on Outcomes After Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Lazaros K. Kochilas, MD; Jeffrey M. Vinocur, MD; Jeremiah S. Menk, MS
Background-—Sex has been linked to differential outcomes for cardiovascular disease in adults. We examined potential sex differences in outcomes after pediatric cardiac surgery. Methods and Results-—We retrospectively analyzed data from the Pediatric Cardiac Care Consortium (1982–2007) by using logistic regression to evaluate the effects of sex on 30-day within-hospital mortality after pediatric (
