This review identified increased rates of 1-year mortality in the pooled data for females, while males had increased rates of pacemaker insertion. Despite this, the absence of propensity matching and isolating for surgical approach has introduced confounding variables that impair the ability of the included studies to interpret the results found in the current literature. Studies isolating for surgical approach, propensity matching patients, and examining outcomes with long-term follow-up are required to elucidate the true nature of this relationship.
