Impact of gender differences on hemostasis in patients after coronary artery bypass grafts surgeries in the context of tranexamic acid administration

Abstract Background Sex differences present in the blood management of patients after coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) surgeries. Tranexamic acid (TXA) performed well in maintaining hemostasis during and after surgeries. However, the impact of sex differences on blood control after CABG in patie...

description Abstract Background Sex differences present in the blood management of patients after coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) surgeries. Tranexamic acid (TXA) performed well in maintaining hemostasis during and after surgeries. However, the impact of sex differences on blood control after CABG in patients who received TXA was not investigated. Methods Overall, 29,536 patients undergoing CABG with TXA administration from 2009 to 2019 in our hospital were included. Propensity score matching was performed. Finally, 6808 males and 6808 females were matched based on 23 covariates. Results Female patients had a 0.36-fold lower incidence of reoperations due to major hemorrhage or cardiac tamponade compared to males (1.3% vs. 2.0%, p = 0.001, OR = 0.64, 95%CI = 0.49–0.84). Females had a median of 100 ml less blood loss in 24 h (median 360 vs. 460 ml, p < 0.0001), 150 ml less in 48 h (median 580 vs. 730 ml, p < 0.0001), and 180 ml less in total (median 760 vs. 940 ml, p < 0.0001) than male patients. The red blood cell (RBC) transfusion rate in female was 1.53-fold higher than that in male (33.0% vs. 21.6%, OR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.43–1.63, p < 0.0001). Females also had higher morbidities than males after CABGs. Conclusions Females had less blood loss than males after CABG with the TXA treatment. Females still had a higher RBC transfusion rate after surgery. Morbidities in women were also higher than that in men.
