Abstract 14598: Multiple Arterial Coronary Bypass Grafting is Associated With Improved Survival in Females
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: Multiple arterial grafting (MAG) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with improved survival and freedom from major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in observational studies of mostly males. It is not known whether the MAG is beneficial in females. Herein, we compared the late clinical outcomes of MAG versus single arterial grafting (SAG) in females undergoing CABG for multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) Methods: Clinical and administrative databases for Ontario, Canada, were linked to obtain all female patients with angiographic evidence of left main, triple, or double vessel disease undergoing isolated non-emergent primary CABG from 2008-2019. Baseline characteristics were compared and 1:1 propensity score matching was performed to account for differences. 30-day mortality was compared in the matched groups. Late mortality and MACCE ( composite of stroke, myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, and death) was compared between the matched groups with a stratified log rank test and Cox-proportional hazard model. Results: In total 2,961 and 7,954 females underwent CABG with MAG and SAG respectively for multivessel CAD. Prior to propensity-score matching, compared to SAG, those that underwent MAG were younger (66.0 vs. 68.9 years) and had less comorbidities. After propensity-score matching, 2,446 well-matched pairs were formed. In matched patients, there was no significant difference in 30-day mortality (1.6% vs 1.8%, P=0.43) between MAG and SAG. The median and maximum follow-up was 5.0 and 11.0 years respectively. Over the entire follow-up, MAG was associated with improved survival (Figure, hazard ratio (HR): 0.85, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.75-0.98) and freedom from MACCE (HR: 0.85, 95%CI: 0.76-0.95). Conclusions: MAG was associated with improved survival and freedom from MACCE and should be considered for female patients with good life expectancy requiring CABG.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
