Sex differences in outcomes after revascularization for acute lower limb ischemia: Propensity score adjusted analysis.
Emil KaronenFrida EekTalha ButtStefan AcostaPublished in: World journal of surgery (2024)
Sex was not found to be an independent risk factor for mortality or combined major amputation/mortality after revascularization for acute lower limb ischemia, whereas women had lower odds of undergoing fasciotomy. Whether women are underdiagnosed or do not develop acute compartment syndrome in the lower leg as often as men should be evaluated prospectively.
