Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Studies have consistently shown that women have worse perioperative outcomes following mitral surgery compared with men. Few data are available that explain these divergent outcomes. This study was conducted to determine whether women with degenerative mitral valve disease present to surgery with more advanced disease than men, and to determine whether these differences influence long-term clinical outcomes. METHODS: Seven hundred and forty-three patients underwent repair of mitral regurgitation due to myxomatous degeneration between 2001 and 2014. Of these, 208 (28%) were females and concomitant coronary bypass grafting was performed in 103 (14%). The mean clinical follow-up was for 3.1 years, and extended to 11.9 years. RESULTS: , P = 0.028) and higher right ventricular systolic pressure (44.4 ± 14.4 vs 41.7 ± 13.3 mmHg, P = 0.026) compared with men. Five-year survival and freedom from recurrent MR ≥2+ were 88.7 ± 1.8 and 90.7 ± 1.6%, respectively. Although gender was not associated with survival (hazard ratio: 1.04 ± 0.4, P = 0.91), women were more likely to develop recurrent MR ≥2+ at follow-up compared with men (hazard ratio: 1.9 ± 0.5, P = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS: In this large series, women with degenerative mitral valve disease presented with echocardiographic markers suggestive of more advanced disease at the time of surgery. Although there was no difference in early or late survival between groups, women were more likely to develop recurrent MR ≥2+ over the course of follow-up. Earlier surgical referral of women may, therefore, be advised.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
